Something Worth Sharing

Last Wednesday

My daughter-in-law and 4 of my grandies

Found ourselves at Chick-fil-a... shocker.

(note: my grandkids think I live there. Seriously.
When my youngest grandson approaches a CFA

he assumes I will be there and shouts,

"Nana, Nana, Nana!")

We were in the middle of our chicken and fries,

or salad and tea,

When the manager came out to the table area

and said to all of us diners

"Thanks for coming to CFA today.

We're glad to have you here.

Today I dropped my 20-year old child

off at college. (a tear)

I can't believe the time flew by like it did.

So, love your kids while you have them.

Hug them and kiss them.

Enjoy them.

And if you are here with your husband or wife,

hug him or her, too."

We were all taken by surprise at this man's

honesty, humility, and vulerability.

My mother often said the same thing

when I was exasperated with the tiredness of raising young children.

She was right. He was right.

We came for lunch,

But we got a lot more than chicken.

Enjoy those you love. Linda
