The Kindness of a Phone Call

"I do believe we're all connected.  I do believe in positive energy.  I do believe in the power of prayer.  I do believe in putting good out into the world.  And I believe in taking care of each other."
~ Harvey Fierstein

It was one of those mornings -- an early business meeting, two children sick, including one with a test and rehearsal for an important event that evening.  Before 8 am, I emailed the director of one of the children's schools to ask her what she thought made sense given my child's test and the upcoming event.  To my surprise, the director called me as I drove to my meeting.  She told me that I could have called her on her mobile phone.  And together we sorted out what made sense for this particular child.  I never expected the phone call -- I imagined that she would email at some point -- and I appreciated it more than she could have imagined.  Especially on that kind of morning.
