“Grief sucks. It sucks even more when you realize the person who passed was the heart, soul, and glue of your family, and suddenly, everyone is at each other's throat.
The past few days, I've been doing my best to survive, struggling to keep my head over water, not sure if I could handle one more blow--and then that blow came.
And it was such a stupid, tiny thing to go wrong, yet it seemed like it would be the boulder that finally sunk me. My SIM card stopped working, and we had a 4-5 hr drive ahead of us with a cranky toddler and a teething infant and I just... I knew I needed my phone to be working.
So, drudging up the last dregs of my energy, I asked my husband if we could stop at AT&T before heading home.
Tiffany helped me. She was such a bright light. Compassionate, understanding, humorous. She gave me a few minutes of much needed normalcy, telling me about her daughter, asking about my kids, offering her condolances without dwelling on the awkwardness that comes from not knowing what to say when someone else--a stranger--is sad.
So, in a sea of suckiness, thank you, Tiffany, for offering me that life raft. It was just a broken SIM card, but you'll never know how much weight helping me replace it took off my shoulders.”
“We needed better phone service. Heard that Cricket was better than StraightTalk. My husband and I wanted new 5G phones. Customer representative, DeMarcus (sp?), was very knowledgeable and professional. He located phones, cases and glass screen protectors. Plus, he transfered data and apps. Cricket really does have better coverage. So far, there has not been anywhere we were without service. I do/will recommend Cricket to all.”
