The best thing happened today! While sitting at Lily's lacrosse game, I talked to the mom sitting next to me. She seemed cool. Later in the game, she said, "You are SO familiar." I had had that same thought last week. Going through the normal questions like where do you work? Do you work out? What school do your kids go to? And we still couldn't figure it out. A few minutes later she said I worked at Community Hospice for 10 years. I said I am going to cry and then I am going to hug you. This mom sitting next to me today happened to be the most important person to me the 11 days Brian was at Hospice. She was the manager at that time. She was the one I cried to night one. The once I cussed to when feeling so overwhelmed. The one who made me feel normal when everything seemed so chaotic. The one who gave use the bonus "frat room" when we had so many visitors. The one my mom wrote a long letter to after everything happened. When you are in the chaos of all that occurs in Hospice, it is amazing to have someone there who knows the Hospice side of things. You abruptly leave when your time at Hospice is over. And although we did go back because Harper was asking questions, you don't get to tell the people how much they truly meant to you. Well, today I did. I got to look at this person in the face and tell her the impact she had on me all while we were trying to figure out the rules of lacrosse. I got to introduce her to Josh and Harper got to hear about her too. I love this small town and small world we live in. I am so thankful she said something out loud and that now I get to hang out with her on Sundays. My heart loves this so much!
