Me Too

I was recently invited to a funeral of a young woman who passed away. Once at the funeral I learned she had a son. I immediately asked for his age, and upon learning, I said: 

“Me too”.  

I lost my mom at a young age too. 

I often say one of the best responses you can get after telling your story is: 

Me too. 

Or maybe even

Me too!

I experience imposter syndrome too. 

I get afraid too. 

I have my doubts too. 

Me too! 

Remember that time you were just getting to know someone, and it seemed like everything you liked, they liked too? Everything you loved, they loved too? Everything you hated, they hated too?

My favorite.

Me too!

Me too!

Remember how they made you feel? 

“I’m not the only one”?

“There’s someone else like me?”

Me too- is often said with a smile or a laugh. 

With an embrace, head-nod, or clap. 

And sometimes it’s said with tears. 

What if the the best gift we can give someone is saying: 

Me too.
