Tea and Sympathy

Today at work a get well card landed on my desk. It was for a co-worker who fell and broke her ankle and arm. I was discussing something with another co-worker so I didn't sign it right that very second. A few minutes later I was asked if I had signed the card and if not could I do so because it needed to get into the mail today so the injured person could receive it. You see, it had been almost a full week since she was injured and horror of horrors, the office hadn't done anything for her yet. This is the same office that did nothing (not even send a card) when I lost my son. Needless to say that little reminder made for just a wonderful afternoon. I keep hoping that in time all these little things won't hurt quite so much.
