I recently attended a young woman’s funeral. During the funeral, I learned she had a young son. Upon hearing his age, 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
"Me too!"
I experience imposter syndrome too.
I get afraid too.
I have my doubts too.
Me too!
Remember that time you were getting to know someone, and everything you liked, they liked too? Everything you loved, they loved too? Everything you hated, they hated too?

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, a head-nod, or a clap.
And sometimes it’s said with tears.
What if the best gift we can give someone is saying:
"Me too."
Mandell, I cherish your short pieces, always heartwarming and multi-layered, I can sense there's a sort of inspired integrity in their genesis. This one touched me in a way I can't really put into words. All I can say is Thank You.
…me too it is…
