So, I’ve been spending a lot of time at the quilt store this week. I took two classes, one for a pieced lone star quilt and a machine quilting class. There is always something new to learn. It has been good to have something to focus on….. yet, even behind all my activities, I think of David every minute of the day and I am so sad, for all the new things he will miss out on.Yesterday, a lady came into the store to get a backing to put on a baby quilt she was making for a friend. She wanted to use a minkie fabric (for those of you who don’t know, it has one of the softest, most luxurious feels) She was agonizing over the cost, at $17.00 dollars a yard, it adds up. Another customer said…. just go for it, price doesn’t matter. It does to me she replied…. I have MS and my monthly shots cost me $2,500 a month. They then had a conversation about her illness and the other ladies son who has Chron’s disease.
Well, she had me cut the minkie, and when she wandered away to find some binding, the other lady told me to ring up her fabric on her bill. She then left the store. When the minkie lady went to pay for her fabric, she burst into tears having a random act of kindness cross her path. It was so touching. People can be so generous.
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” -- Aesop
