My son is so awesome!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

So the end of the story is that I'm typing this story on a borrowed computer.
Here's why.
My husband and my computer had a small accident and the computer lost, so it's in the shop for an untold amount of time. This is a super fancy touch screen, does everything, "all in one unit" computer. My life is attached to it and stored in it.
My Mother-in-law was over when it happened and in all her goodness kept telling me that "it's just a thing" and things can be replaced and people cannot. It's just a thing. True....but,
I'm freaking out and pacing around not knowing if everything I had stored is gone or what or if it can be fixed.
It wasn't really helping that my mom in law kept telling me it's just a thing.
So my son pipes up, he's 14 and says but Ouma! That's a future million dollar business in there!!
My son is so awesome :)
