"I didn't do it Mommy, honest!"



This is my biggest kitty Cubby. He is almost 3yo and weighs 17lbs.

You never know who you'll run into.

I didn't put any effort into my appearance this morning when I went out to do some errands. Big Mistake! I wasn't thinking of who I would run into. I was just feeling like yuck, so I went out as is.

Someone came up to me at the local coffee shop about two hours ago asking me if I worked at ---- Hospital. It turns out I was her nurse. She explained who she was and when I took care of her. It was at a particularly emotional time for her and her family.

I was embarrassed at how I looked and that I hadn't brushed my teeth yet. I was focused on this. But if she noticed, she didn't let on. She teared up and explained how much it meant to her that I took care of her.

Wow. I was very humbled. I told her that she made my day!

I have a hard time putting my feelings into words. So trying to explain how I felt today when my former patient came up to me is really hard. I'm feeling grateful, thankful, humbled. But somehow this seems to inadequate.

If I have any misspelled words, bare with me. I am clicking on the spell check icon, but nothing is happening.
