You told that story really well. I have the feeling that she has learned the lesson that we all should, that life is what we make of it. That we should let the small things go, and to be kind to those around us. I think that can be one of the benefits of aging. I'm less impatient, I find it easier to say I'm sorry and thank you than 10 years ago. What a lovely woman. You told that story really well.

They normally send the drunken Guido, the crazy Eastern European, or the anal-retentive OCD complainer. But, we pray to them anyway, because in an unusual backward twist, they send US offerings--of cash.

This is the kind of little old lady I want to be, I suspect part of being this kind of little old lady is being a grown up without forgetting how not to be. It also made me feel happy about thinking about my Mom who was really a pretty neat and fun person, and who I saw do this kind of thing many times. I love this story.
