Fawlty Showers 2

 

Down for the Count

When I passed Katy’s desk leaving work, I saw she was crying. I asked if she was OK.

“My brother-in-law and my nephew told me to shut up,” she said, wiping away a tear.

“Are you angry?”

“I’m happy! My sister left a message earlier to say they were all coming to be with me when the baby’s born. I called to say they didn’t have to, they had a farm to run, and I’d be alright.”

I got it. “They told you to shut up in a loving way. They were going to be there for you when you needed them.”

Katy nodded. “I can always count on them.”

I thought of the people I’d known who’d had so little support at crucial moments in their lives.  I counted myself lucky to have had so many people I could count on.

 

Today I’ll be grateful for the people I can count on.
