The Kindness of the Connecting Mom

"I think we all do have a guardian angel.  I believe they work through us all the time, when we are thoughtful and good and kind to each other."
~ Roma Downey

I have a friend who has a full plate.  In fact, she is dealing with more than any of us would want.  She is seeing her husband through a serious illness and she is in the middle of moving and a nightmare renovation.  In the midst of her craziness, she called me about a young man who was just admitted into the college of his dreams.  The challenge is that now his family has to figure out how to pay for it.  My friend was looking for guidance for the parents and was wondering if I could connect them with someone who might be able to help them navigate the maze of financial aid.  I told her that the family was blessed to have her as a friend.  "I connect people," she said, "that's what I do."  I have no doubt that with an angel like that on their side, these parents will be able to get their son to his dream school.
