My boss, C, is a great guy, and I am very blessed to be a part of this firm. I knew this, but didn't know how much until this morning.
We have a baby lawyer, J, who is about 27. She works hard, really hard. She puts so much into her work that sometimes she is here very late.
J and her b/f were going to drive 9 hours to visit her family for Thanksgiving. Her b/f is also a lawyer, but works for a city agency so his hours are very normal. Over the weekend, he broke up w/ J. Why anyone would want to is beyond me because she is truly a wonderful woman.
J has kept her chin up. She is going through what we all go through, blaming herself, crying, hurting, but she does not let it show. She always has a smile.
C found out that J was still planning the 9 hour drive to visit her family, alone. When he approached the subject of flying, J said the airfare was outrageous, and that she would be fine driving.
Last night, C looked at J, said you are flying, and bought her plane ticket.
I feel truly blessed to be a part of this firm.
I am thankful for many things, but I think when I came here, this place saved me. Obviously, it has done the same thing for others.
In terms of work, I am home.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
