Kind Hearts
Michelle said, "I
have this fantasy where my husband has a second heart attack and God whispers
in his ear, 'this is what you get for cheating on Michelle.'" The group laughed, except Julie.
"He could die if
he had a second heart attack," she said quietly.
"Julie,"
Michelle said, "I'm mostly kidding.
I don't really want to see him die.
I'm just angry. He betrayed me."
"I'm sorry,"
Julie said. "I know this group is
about holding people accountable. Ken's
always talking about facing hard truths, and not glossing over people's bad
behavior. But, I just can't help feeling
bad for the man. He shouldn't have
cheated on Michelle, but he almost died all alone."
"You have a kind
heart," Seal said. "Don't be sorry for that."
"Somebody's got
balance out Mr. Cold and Responsible here," Tony said, gesturing in my
direction. Most of the group echoed that
sentiment. I took my lumps with a smile
"Seal's
right," I said. "Don't be sorry for your kind heart. The world needs more kind hearts."
Today I will be grateful for the kind hearts.
