zoetheI fielded a phone call from a nervous father today. His daughter is flying to Cleveland to spend the last few days of Spring Break with my daughter (and not get into any trouble at all—really), and he wanted to make certain that she would be met at the airport, transported safely, and generally just not stranded someplace.
As I was reassuring him of all of the above, I was thinking, oh geez, I have to impose on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theferrett’s morning to get him to do all this and I know he hates to go to the airport and he will probably be cranky about it.
Instead, the response I got was, “No worries. I’ll take care of it.”
No huffing and puffing. No rolling of eyes. No, “but you’re gonna owe me for this.” None of the crap I would have had to endure a couple years ago. He knows my stress level is through the roof, so even though it’s a pain in the ass (I know, I hate going to airports), he’s being careful not to inflict anymore on me.
That deserves kudos, especially since they were so obviously unsolicited. Thank you, sweetie. The effort doesn’t go unnoticed.
