I took a field trip to visit Abby at work late this morning.
Not really. But she did smile for me when I came up to her register to say hi.
I stood back for a while and watched her as customers approached. I watched her check them out, one by one. I watched her carefully punch in prices and I watched her bag items and I watched her smile and engage in pleasant, quick little conversations with people she'd never met before and will likely never see again.
And I felt a sense of gratitude that the wee one who used to stomp around the house in my high heels and a feather boa has transformed into a competent, bright young woman. That in and of itself is no small blessing.
