Hug my kid for me

I heard it from both sides today.

Our friend Jean, Marguerite‘s mom, flew off to go visit her grandson, Marguerite’s nephew. He’s in the bishopric in the student ward where he’s finishing his doctorate.

And there, sitting in that church in Ann Arbor, was our daughter Michelle.

Jean has known Michelle since she was a year old.  Both of them had this jaw-on-the-ground moment of, What are YOU doing here?!

The answer, of course, was, finding themselves feeling very, very loved and treasured and suddenly very much at home.

These small world incidents just keep happening. Wonderful!I just found out that our bishop’s brother is a school teacher in my hometown and lives in my uncle’s house.

I wonder if it’s still the same chapel I went to church during fifth and sixth grade during my dad’s stint at the U of M.

Also, my sister has had that experience. She came to church with us when we lived in San Jose and ran into someone she went to church with in VA. It makes the locals laugh when the visitors are suddenly greeting each other like old friends.

Sweet. You’ve got me smiling through a little mist.
