Thank Goodness for Sisters

dinner1.JPGI have a wonderful sister and fabulous sisters-in-law, but I’m writing today about one of my local sisters. On Friday afternoon I got a call from my friend Heidi checking in on me because she knew I wasn’t feeling well. She said, “let me come get your kids for the afternoon, we’ll go to the park or something.” I told her that they would be fine and I was planning a movie afternoon. She then persisted that she really wanted to do something and suggested dinner. I said, “no, no, really it’s ok.” She insisted that she do something to help me, and pretty much made me pick either taking the kids for a while or bringing us dinner. As everyone knows, dinner is the part of the day I dread the most, so I picked dinner. Heidi arrived with all 3 of her children helping to bring in a nice dinner for my family. What a great example of service and providing relief for me when I was not even sick enough to need the help, but knowing that I could really use the help. She is a great example to her kids and a very kind friend. Thanks again Heidi!

    She sounds like an amazing and generous friend. I am so happy that she was there for you especially since we are so far away.

    What an incredible friend! It’s so nice, isn’t it, to know there is someone to lean/count on in those moments. And we all need a break sometimes without having to be on our deathbed. It’s hard work being a Mom.
