• 22:04
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: What did you learn?
• 22:05
  Melissa Shere Beek: I know. I I I mean, something just popped into my head. I don't know. I I I guess okay. I was horribly horribly horribly bullied for an entire year.
• 22:16
  Nobody spoke to me at school except this one kid. And it was sixth grade, and this person was harassing me horribly and she got the whole entire class to ignore me and they were all up on the monkey bars and she was like, This means war and they wouldn't speak to me. And the whole year I had nobody but this one boy, I'm gonna say his initials, SK, because I don't know if he wants to be made public, and he was sitting on the bleachers. And I jumped out of the tree and I sat down on the bleachers. Well, I jumped out of the tree because they threw a dodgeball at me and knocked the wind out of me.
• 22:54
  Lovely. So I got on the bleachers and I sat and I talked with him because he couldn't play, had severe asthma, and he was telling me his dreams and he wanted to be a pilot. And he had this whole thing with air, you know, and airplanes and all the stuff he wanted to do. Just fascinating, fascinating. And I was so happy I took the time to talk to him.
• 23:13
  Fast forward like twenty years later, and something goes down at Miami International Airport, and they call in this highly respected expert with aviation who is a pilot with it was him. It was him. I started screaming, oh my god.
• 23:31
  Jessica Shere Coggins: I have a good story.
• 23:32
  Melissa Shere Beek: Now, I never kept in touch with him, But I always just kind of thought he gave me such grace and kindness when it could've just been as easy for him to be as nasty as all the other kids in the class. And he just sort of was really kind and really loving and had a bigger picture in life
• 23:53
  Jessica Shere Coggins: That's awesome.
• 23:54
  Melissa Shere Beek: Than what was on a sixth grade playground, and he made it happen for himself, and I always thought that changed how I saw things. Yeah. I was just like, that always stuck with me. No. That's good.
• 24:04
  Sorry.
• 24:04
  Jessica Shere Coggins: I never knew that one.
• 24:05
  Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah. What about you guys?
• 24:07
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: Well, I think I've brought this up before about when I worked in the foster care and there was a girl that I worked that I got very very close with.
• 24:17
  Melissa Shere Beek: Should I say her name? You can do initials like I did.
• 24:20
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: Okay. Her initials were SB or is SB. And she had two child young children that I used to take her to go visit. I had car seats in my car. She unfortunately lost you know, she was 16 years old when she had two kids and she lost them.
• 24:35
  I know one of the stories is because they found maggots in her bottles but she wasn't she she was a foster care at her obviously, she was foster kid herself and now her two kids were in foster care And she did the smart thing and gave up her parental rights and
• 24:48
  Melissa Shere Beek: she she used to call me Barbie
• 24:51
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: because I look
• 24:52
  Melissa Shere Beek: like a Barbie doll. Little blondie Barbie doll.
• 24:54
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: Mhmm. So fast forward to many years later. I and and we kept in touch through Facebook and one time when Mason and I first got married, she wanted to be a chef and she came over and she cooked in our apartment. So I've kept in touch with her over the years. Fast forward, my daughter is collecting fluoride and one of the places that she delivered her fluoride products to was Children's Home Society, where's where I worked.
• 25:18
  Melissa Shere Beek: Mhmm.
• 25:19
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: And we set up a time and a date to go drop off her supplies. And I said to my daughter, I'm like, I'm gonna call SB on the phone. I had her phone and it's been fifteen, twenty years.
• 25:30
  Jessica Shere Coggins: Oh my god.
• 25:31
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: And she answered the phone. Get out. And she goes, Barbie.
• 25:35
  Jessica Shere Coggins: Oh my god. Cried

  Samantha Shere Sharpe: and cried. Aw. And it was the success that she was she had a life. She was living she's living in West Palm. She has a job.
• 25:45
  Melissa Shere Beek: So nice. She still talks to one of
• 25:47
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: her kids. But it was just the fact that I touched this girl's life, which I don't think she realized how much she touched my life. Right. The fact that the second I called, she and she recognized.
• 25:58
  Melissa Shere Beek: She goes, Barbie. Aw.
• 25:59
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: Like, just That's so sweet.
• 26:01
  Melissa Shere Beek: And you just you look
• 26:02
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: at these kids who are foster care kids and you don't realize they live amongst amongst us. You know, we went to an event today with Jafka, which is the same kind of thing where these kids are there and we live such privileged lives, but yet these kids are living lives that are just
• 26:20
  Melissa Shere Beek: Minute to minute. They they don't deserve it and it's no fault
• 26:24
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: of theirs. They didn't ask for it. But it was this I mean, I I love her. She loves me. And we
• 26:31
  Melissa Shere Beek: can go twenty years without talking and recognize
• 26:33
  Samantha Shere Sharpe: each other's voice. But yeah. So that was one that I like I really hold dear near and dear to my heart.
