The Kindness of Surprise Childcare

"The best thing you can ever have is peace of mind, it is a basking fire to keep a cold heart in warmth, and a fortified confidence to be proud of.
- Michael Bassey Johnson

I try not to impose on my friends for childcare, especially because I travel and often need to ask.  On a recent weekend, I came up with less than ideal arrangements, so that my husband and I could attend a funeral.  And then my lovely friend sent me a text to see if any of my children were up for a photography class adventure with her daughter.  All of them jumped at the chance and off they went with my friend for a photography class and a pizza lunch.  My husband and I were able to attend the funeral with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your children are being well taken care of -- thanks to my friend's kindness.
