random
This is not the post I was about to write, but I just had a random moment. I was sitting here watching a news story about a toddler who had fallen from a 3 story window and was caught by passerby’s…that in a moment.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see someone. I thought they were watching the video…a co-worker. I’m at lunch, so it’s not a big deal that I’m watching news. Then I see they are sliding something onto my desk. I think it’s very nice that they are trying to not disturb me, but why not just say something…
It was actually a deaf person who had somehow found their way into the office. He had a small heart pendant with the following message attached to a card:
“Let’s be friends! I am a deaf person selling these cards and pins for a living. Donation: Any price you wish. Thanks for your kindness.”
I normally have no cash on me, but today I did. So I gave him what I could.
Then, thanks to Blue’s Clues, I understood him saying “thank you” in sign language. I answer back, in sign language, and he walked away.
It was just a strange and random thing that happened in a day that was starting to over whelm me. It was nice to have that moment of clarity to calm me down.
And now, the story about the toddler. I can’t imagine looking up 3 stories and seeing a toddler dangling from a window and having the reactions to save her. I hope I would, but I don’t want to find out.
