I Will Sit With You Shawl

When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. – anonymous

When my daughter was a small child in elementary school, she would come home from school and say, “Susan said this or Susan did that” and I would say “Who’s Susan?” and she would tell me “I sit with her at lunch.”

So, one day, I decided to investigate by peeking into the lunchroom at her school and there sat my daughter at a special table with Susan, who was in a wheelchair and had a lot of trouble eating. I left quickly but later I asked her: “Tell me about Susan.” And her reply was “No one will sit with her, so I do.” Ah – from the mouths of children come the best lessons.

Let’s practice this together – “I will sit with you.”
