How can you repay someone when the magnitude of their kindness brings you to your knees?
2014 was a very difficult year for me, my wife and our two young children. Through a chain of events initiated through a forced military move, we made the tough decision to have me relocate and the rest of the family stay behind until we can rent/sell our home.
Since then we have had an outpouring of assistance and care from our close family and friends. Emotional support has been abundant. They have provided help to my wife who is juggling two part time jobs on top of the responsibilities of a single mom. On my end, friends have assisted me with finding a cheap but comfortable place to stay. They have opened up their homes where space was available. They showed such tender care for the emotional disaster that I’ve gone through dealing with the repercussions of our smart but difficult decisions.
Our inner circle has been amazing and I feel so indebted. How can you repay someone when the magnitude of their kindness brings you to your knees? What might you do or say? What might you want to be said or done for you if you were the kind party?
