Today I had a moment of grace. Of course, moments of grace occur all the time, especially throughout the workday in a busy public library, but this one was uniquely special.
I was helping out at a new branch library. I've helped the manager with some special projects over the last few weeks as she prepared to open the branch. She graciously offered to buy me lunch to thank me. So, she went out to a barbecue restaurant and returned with lunch for the two of us. She set two cans of Diet Coke on the table in the staff lounge. Both cans said "Dad" on them. The barbecue came with two kinds of sauce: regular and North Carolina. I chose NC because my dad was from NC.
This moment of grace was a wink from my dad. Here's to you, dad.
