― Robert Louis Stevenson
I was driving home on a recent weekend evening, wondering what I would feed my children for dinner when one of my dearest friends called to say that she had some cupcakes for my children. "You can pick them up or I'll take them to your house," she said. As I was in the car and we live within minutes of each other, I told her that I would stop by and get them. "Why don't you come over for dinner?" she asked. And so we did. Somehow, in the few minutes that it took us to get there, she and her husband set a beautiful table for eight, which included my family and her father. In what seemed like no time, my friend cooked a delicious dinner. We had a wonderful evening with great food, wonderful conversation, and friends who are like family.
My friend is one of my children's godmothers. I think I should add "fairy" before godmother. Little did she know when she called how perfectly times her kindness was.
