THANK-YOU, Deja

One thing I've been thinking of is how someones simple words can be a precious gift to another.

Deja has been a BLESSING to our family and I want to publicly thank her. She helped me put things in perspective with one simple phrase a week ago. I was fretting over what to do with produce co-op. I hate the idea of cancelling. I'd cancelled a couple of weeks ago, last week was iffy because we were waiting for results from an US on Wed.....we ended up having co-op as the US was "positive". I did call Deja to see if she would be willing to help me make calls after my WED US if needed. She not only agreed to help but told me she would make them ALL. She also used that simple phrase I mentioned above, "you are dealing with a death in the family". Wow - of course no one would expect you to run a produce co-op if you'd just had a death in your family. No one would expect you to be at every chapel/civic event, be cheery and bright and up...they'd understand that you need a few days to cocoon with family....and she gave me permission to take that time with that one phrase.

THEN this week when it became apparent that I was not going to be able to do co-op she called EACH member who had ordered this week and talked to them so that I wouldn't have to make a zillion calls with the same message.....

Thanks, Deja. I appreciate you. You have honestly given me a priceless gift, the right to grieve.
