Yesterday, I took Echo swimming and met one of the sweetest people Barbara...
we were in the pool doing our own thing. These two ladies come over to swim. Suddenly Echo notice that the lady was an amputee, Grammy she her leg is missing loudly I am sure everyone in the world heard her. I immediately was embarrassed not because of what she said but cause everyone heard her. To her it was a noticing the lady was different. I quickly made her apologize, then turned to her and apologized to her. Afraid that she may have been offended I began to explain that Echo had probably never saw anyone with an amputation. She just smiled and said she gets that a lot from kids. As we swam in the pool, We continued to talk about grandkids. Barbara smiled and says My grandbabies are used to seeing her. Thats how she gets her grandbabies to eat their veggies, I tell them I didn't eat my veggies and my leg fell right off. We both began laughing I told her that was a brilliant idea maybe I could use that on Echo. Kindness starts with a smile and a little understanding. I had originally planned on swimming for about an hour but I was in good company so we left at closing.
Hope your having a blessed day out there!
