Lent 2023 (Penny)

Happy Birthday, Rob Reid!

I’m glad I got up before Rob this morning because it’s his birthday and I was the one who found the leak. Our house is almost 100 years old so this kind of thing happens. Still, the whole time I was mopping up, I was bemoaning that he’d need to spend any time on his actual birthday on plumbing.

I should have known better. He likes projects especially when I help with the prep and clean-up. And just like during the lockdown, I took the time to watch him assess the damage, correct it in no time flat and leave me to my part of setting things straight.

We are different in many ways, this being one of them. I am feeling super warm and grateful to be his teammate—past, present and future.

Thanks Be.
