a new twist

ok, so we have a new person working for us........a woman who has moved to danville from a spousal abuse shelter in lexington, and before that from parts unknown..........she does not know a soul in danville, yet seems relieved to be among reasonable people...she has read this town well........her two children are doing well in the city school system, and and has hopes of settling down.........others have taken to her as well......friday, the lunch wait-staff allowed her to 'take a few tables' so she could earn a bit of gas money prior to the weekend........i feel guilty, as a i could have sent home some leftovers had i fully understood the situation.......this is the scenario that brings the brutal realization....i live in a cushy reality, with a caring, equitable spouse...............and full support for my every whim........there are those who have never known such, and grasp for every shred of dignity .................my sunday school class is taking up a collection to buy her children easter baskets..................i hope that we can do more substantial things in the future..............
