I went to Vons this morning. I made a list. Did remember to bring it. Didn’t even look at it. Just wandered aimlessly and bought too many things I didn’t need or but seemed like I should get. While standing at the deli counter, I thought I’d get some fried chicken for lunches or a picnic later, but it’s not really likely to be made before 0830. So I’m just standing there kind of lost and feeling stupid asking for chicken. And the lady just looks at me and says “give me 10 minutes and I’ll make it for you.” I burst into tears. We’ve had a couple of losses and deaths in our family, very recently. Fried chicken sounds like such a silly thing, but Carrie will never know just how much she meant this morning. Kindness can take so many forms. Thank you Carrie at the College Avenue Vons in Oceanside this morning. I appreciate you.
