From the time that I filed for divorce I had an expectation of good things happening for me. There had been enough negativity and I was ready for all things good. There were many challenges that seemed insurmountable. They taught me how to dig deep and to be patient. 

After filing for divorce I decided to stay in the home until the school year ended. Those five months were not easy. I wanted to give the kids time to adjust. During that time I looked for a home and eventually found one. It checked most of the items on my list and I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Covid made the escrow process so long and daunting. 

My salesperson was amazing, she had gotten divorced and she understood my situation. Becky threw in every possible perk that she could which saved me thousands of dollars. Her kindness brought me to tears. I had to extend my close of escrow 4-5 times due to Covid related delays. On the day of the closing I felt so overwhelmed with emotions. I can still remember the moment I found out and I jumped with excitement. It had been a long process. 

Over the last couple years, Becky’s kindness would come to mind and I would smile. A couple months ago I thought about Becky again but this time I felt compelled to reach out to her. So I sent her a text and she responded. I thanked her for all that she had done for me. I told her that I loved my home and the kids were adjusting well. Then I sent her a family photo. 

Becky thanked me for letting her know how we were doing. Then she went on to say that she was sad and having a hard day because it was the second anniversary of her son’s death. When we met she shared with me that she had lost her son in a car accident. She thanked me for reaching out to her and said that it warmed her heart. 

This experience taught me so much. Trust the process and know that everything is going to work out on your behalf. Stressing only wears you out. If you feel an urge to do something for someone, act on it. You never know what that person is going through. Your small act of kindness could be the ray of hope they need. No matter what you go through, you can always be grateful. Above all be kind and thoughtful.
