There isn’t too much that surprises me anymore. As a teacher, my students use to love to find ways to surprise me. Sometimes it was a M&M toy or treasure or other times it was a full pancake breakfast. I loved it, but I always knew they were up to something.
Fast forward to yesterday, as I was getting ready to go to lunch, there was a knock on the door. I was quickly greeted by Bill and Vicki, my neighbors from Florida, who I haven’t seen since leaving Florida two years ago. I was so surprised to see them.
Good neighbors are hard to come by. Bill and Vicki did so much for me when I was alone in Florida, especially for Sofi. I don’t know what I would’ve done without their help!
Their visit changed my whole outlook for the day, and hopefully longer. It was not an easy thing for them to travel to Myrtle Beach out of their way, but it meant so much to me! Their surprise wasn’t like my students would pull, it was beyond thought out and they even checked with the front desk to make sure I was still home and not back at the hospital. My goal is to take this positive energy and turn it into standing and walking when OT comes later today!
