Holding hands

Y’all are going to get tired of me talking about work, but in our Monday morning department meeting my heart strings got pulled a bit.

There are only about 6 of us that report to D, so they are usually pretty casual. Today, P was there too. One of our co-workers lost his mother unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago. While we were out partying the other night, the same co-worker was robbed. The intruders even had the audacity to dump his mother’s ashes…

Y’all know that hit home for me, right?

Y’all know my mother was cremated?

Sigh.

P asked for donations to help him. Evidently, everything was taken. The company is going to match whatever we donate.

My company’s logo is a circle comprised of three people holding hands. I’m happy that is not something that we just portray to our clients. We invest that same spirit back into the company resources. Us.
