I like to think that I have angels watching over me...not just Henry, but Brady and my mama too. This morning, I was having a rough morning. I felt anxious, and just had that feeling like I couldn't do this anymore. My heart felt like it was in my throat and my stomach was in knots. There wasn't any specific reason for that...it's just how some mornings start.
But then when I got to school, I was sitting at my desk doing a few things before going outside for duty, and one of my friends stopped by with a coffee from Starbucks. It's such a simple gesture, but it meant so much, especially this morning. Then, after coming in from duty, I had a card on my desk with a gift card to one of my favorite stores (so that I can buy something new that fits!) Again, a sweet and simple gesture, but one that brought tears to my eyes. These two ladies didn't know that I was having a rough morning, they just wanted to do something sweet to lift my spirits.
I am so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people. I have been painfully slow in getting thank-yous out (my mom would be horrified!) but I am still working on them. I hope that I haven't forgotten anyone, but if I do, please know it isn't intentional. Every card, comment, gesture, and gift is appreciated beyond words. Just a smile as we pass in the hall raises my spirits, as does an "I'm thinking of you." So although I continue to work on thank-yous, in the meantime I want to thank everyone that has reached out to us, in big ways or small. I like to think that's our boys and my mama, watching out for us from above, making sure we're surrounded by caring people. <3
