“That’s so awesome, Sara. If I can do anything to help, you know I will.”
“You wanna stay on the line until you get home?” she asks, knowing me better than I’m sure I know myself.
“Yeah, that would be nice.”
“You got it.”
“So, tell me something, anything.”
She starts chatting about her business, joy for what she’s achieved already with her art prints and online store clear in her voice, and I lose myself to her excitement as she talks about the orders she’s had and the customers she’s met. It’s too easy to push everything aside and just listen to her voice as I make my way home.
I just keep reminding myself that everything is going to get better because, at this point, not much else can go wrong.
