So I am living with my uncle part time when I’m at college because his flat is closer to the campus. One night I was there and I unexpectedly got my period and had no pads or tampons. I nervously went to my uncle and asked if we could drive to the shop to get a few things.

So we get to the shop and I’m carrying the basket and am embarrassed because he will see what is in the basket when I pick them up. So I separate from him to go get them. I find him again in the food isle and say I’m done.

He then noticed what I’d picked up. Mind you the basket wasn’t heavy as it only had my stuff and some bread in it.

I started to walk away to the counters but he stopped me and said,

“Here, let me carry that.” And he took the basket out of my hands. After a few minutes of silence walking around the shop I said.

“Sorry for all the lady products in the basket.” He then chuckled a bit and then said “aw you don’t need to be sorry, it’s completely normal.” And then put his arm on my shoulder.

It made me feel so much better about living with him and things like this happening. He always been a very awkward and quiet person so I didn’t think he would react like that. 💜
