A Smile
Having had a truly shit-tastic day, I decided to make a few calls for the play. Its a WWII drama and I've invited a few veteran's groups and am sending tickets to the Soldier's Home and the local VA hospital. We're also planning a talk back after our matinee.
I called a gentleman named Henry to ask if he and perhaps some friends would be interested in joining us. Henry is a WWII veteran and is 85 years old. Our conversation was wonderful, though he did have to turn Jerry Springer down to, and I quote, "get my digits". Henry and 6 of his buddies will be coming, in uniform.
He also called me "kid". Which about the greatest thing you can call a 35 year old mother of 4.
From there I called my dad to tell him the news. He re-enacted a Dominoes commercial for me and for the first time in a couple days I laughed. I'm still giggling.
This kid has got to cook dinner...
