People are just so kind sometimes. :)
Mar. 27th, 2008 10:50 pmSo I went back to school today. Everyone was incredibly sweet, and no one was miffy at all that we had to cancel concerts. Most of all, the kids were utterly understanding. They all just wanted to know if I was still contagious, and could they hug me? That was more important than when we'd reschedule the concerts, in their opinion. Then...end of the day, one of the grandmothers of three siblings that I just adore showed up with her friend for a concert. Uh-oh. Turns out the youngest of her grandkiddos assured her the concert was today instead! Oh, dear. I explained the situation, that no, it wasn't, but I would be sending home notes soon, and how sorry I was that she'd come down to be disappointed. I offered to let them come into the room and play games with us, if they wanted at all, and she just laughed and said it was all good, and then very earnestly wanted to know how I was, and did I feel any better, and that she'd been worried. I was blown away. No irritation at all that she had to come to school just to find out for no reason. Nope. Just kindness and honest concern. People are just full of awesome. :)
