I received the following text this morning from Burgandy. Out of the clear blue....and this is all it said.
I don't remember the occasion she notes, but this message couldn't have come at a better time as I was feeling pretty down before I read it. Just thinking about a lot of things that are either not going well or that still have to be surmounted in the next few weeks.
Her words recall one of just a handful of good parenting moments I had over the years. But it was enough....
Life is full of surprises! And this early Valentine was one of them which made a glad heart.
Thanks, Burgandy!
One day when I was driving the blue truck (and I still wasn't good at driving a clutch), I was turning off Leyden Road onto 80th. There was a steep incline, and a car was behind us. I was so scared that I was going to roll back into them, I may have been yelling out of frustration. But you were calm and encouraged me that I could do it.
Every time I feel like I can't do somethings, that day always comes to mind. Thank you for that day of patience and encouragement!
