[QUOTE="Star*, post: 301759, member: 4964"] Terry, As I've gotten older I've found that a lot of times people are put into our lives for different reasons and different amounts of time. I've learned something from every single person I've met. When someone said "Earth is the Kindergarten for heaven." I thought it was a really odd statement, but if you think about it, it's very true. What you learned from a person like your friend is invaluable to pass on to not only yourself, but your children and how they behave in situations where THEY or YOU may be late or have to wait on someone. Tolerance is a great teacher. The fact that you came home, the fact that you did not allow your friend to bully you, the fact that you didn't allow her to control you, the fact that you did not allow her to use language that is unacceptable to you, the fact that you showed how hurt you were and the fact that you asked for tolerance? All these things went into a little computer in your sons head - and the reward from prior learning? The hug. Makes me smile to think that my nephew (despite other times and rages) GOT those lessons and did not like seeing MY friend cry. BIGGER SMILE. :happy: WAY TO GO KIDDO. You made my heart glad today. Thanks for sharing that Terry- It's nice to know. Really, really nice. :winking: [/QUOTE]
