I had a really cool experience today. As most of you know, I am recently divorced. Before today I had not had the chance to interact with any of Redge's family. This past weekend was Redge's weekend to have the kids, but because Redge had to fly out early this morning to Denver for work his mom, Marney, stayed with the kids- meaning she would be the adult at the house when I picked up the kids to return home.
I was nervous about the encounter. I prayed. I fretted. I freaked. But it was all (well- not ALL- I'm sure the praying helped quite a bit) for no reason. Marney was amazing! She greeted me with a hug, she asked about my family, she visited, she helped me pack the car, she gathered food and snacks for the kids, SHE WAS KIND! She didn't have to be, but she was.
I will never forget today. I will never forget the kindness shown to me at a time when it was so totally unexpected, but I so badly needed it.

Hey Miss Lyndee! I sent you an e-mail this summer to tell you we have a new addition, but the e-mail bounced back. Then I tried to call you a few months back to ask you how school was going (I was thinking of going back too) and low and behold you had disappeared! Drop me an e-mail sometime and let me know how you are!
