Yesterday's post was before my aunt died.
When I posted the Mr. Rogers quote, I was thinking of Haiti. I was thinking of all the people in need of basic things I sometimes take for granted. I was thinking of all the generous people who have donated time, money, and/or effort to make things better.
People really are good. I believe that. Horrible things can happen and people do rise to the occasion. There are always a few jerks who blame the victims, but most people do have good hearts.
Yesterday my aunt died. And I had lots of "helpers" come to my aid. A friend delivered a bag of clothing so I could find something acceptable for the funeral. (I hardly have anything dressy anymore since having the kids! ) Another brought her baby over so I could hold her. A baby really does make things better! And many friends called to see how I was.
I have good friends! I thank you!
And I have lots of bloggy friends too! Thank you!
