Family

After having a bit of a busy morning I decided to sit down for a moment and check my email. My cousin Betty sent me a touching email this am that I want to share. Several weeks ago after not seeing my cousin in quite some time she asked why she hadn't seen much of me and why we hadn't gotten together in a while. Generally a few times a year we try and get together with our spouses at a little breakfast place and play catch up. Due to a lot of personal changes in my life I'd been playing it low key and she was beginning to feel avoided as though she had dome something wrong. It was at that point I decided it was time to tell her what was up and let it be her decision if she wanted to see me anymore. She was really cool about it and still wanted her cousin in her life. ..

This am I got a sweet email with a message and a story attached, it touched me enough to post it ..

Read this one and remember one cannot always "believe" in what sees with one's eyes.

Your cuz,
Betty

A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind.
The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.
He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, "Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour.
Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
The blind lady replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."
Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog!
The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

True story.... Have a great day and remember...
THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.
