Act of Kindness...

Roger left work this morning in a not so pleasant winter storm. I was so nervous the whole time he drove the 1 and 45 minute drive to work until he called and said that he made it safely. We were deciding whether or not have him drive last night to avoid the storm, or take his chances and drive this morning. While he was deciding, I am in bed upset with the whole situation and thinking about the next morning. The kids will get up and find that daddy left the night before without saying good-bye. I can hear Blake upset with everything in life from not being able to put his gloves on to feeling rushed to get to the bus stop on time. I can see Caleb, constantly asking, "Where daddy go, where daddy go?" Emma keeps everything internal and Ethan is getting so grown up he would have understood, but wouldn't like it.
After deciding for 15 minutes, Roger decided to take his chances and drive in the morning. I was glad, but worried for him. Would he make it safe to work? Today was the first day of classes. He needed to be there. He said that he wanted to spend the morning with his family and that it will all work out. He was right. This morning all the kids happen to get up early (6:30) and had some daddy time before he left for work. It was great that one simple act of kindness made my week and the kids as well.
