Just a quiet note this evening. If you remember a month ago I posted that a good friend of mine had passed away. We had invited her husband and girls to our pot luck party last weekend. I was very glad they came. I just received a call from her husband, "M". He called to let me know that he appreciated me. I was not sure what he meant so I jokingly asked what had I done now. His response was that it was the first time that he had been able to relax and laugh since "L"s passing.
I was speechless. I hadn't realized what it might have meant to him. And I'm so very glad it was something positive for him.
I guess you never know what kind of gift you give when you offer to share your life. Even the worst of us have some redeeming qualities.
I miss her.

The death of a partner is often a very lonely experience. Even surrounded by lots of support and friends, one can often feel very alone. Events like your pot luck party... normal life...can make such a difference. I can imagine how much M appreciated it, and you.

Sometimes the smallest of gifts will have the most impact. Karma always remembers.
Extreme,
I am a strong believer in Karma. But sometimes it still manages to take my breath away.
