Tonight will be the last of my uncomfortable truths, at least for a little while. I went to the bank today and paid off the loan that I co signed. I had mixed feelings about this. My mean spirited side was saying "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Again)," and the other, hopefully better, part of me was relieved, it was done, over, finished. I hope that I am not too mean spirited, yet I am aware that that is one of my occasional uncomfortable truths. To balance that out, I am also apparently the eternal optimist when it comes to people.
I want to see the best in them and usually will look for it.
We have a little girl at our house tonight. Dennis and Tami's great niece Savannah is visiting with us for a while. Her mom is hospitalized with colitis in Kitchener. Tami really should have had a girl. She loves all children, something that I love about her, but a little girl would have been such a gift to her. Although her 3 boys were all gifts for her. To all of us. My grandchildren are almost as a big as a gift to me as my own children. I have a special relationship with almost all of my grandchildren. Tonight I am grateful for my grandchildren and that the money is paid off. I hate owing money. I have worked so hard all of my adult life to avoid being in debt. I am grateful I was able to try to help this young woman and that I could pay it off myself when I had to.
