That is so wonderful! God is really great at convicting people. It's just a matter of ... do they wish to listen ...

Wow! I'm not sure why but this actually had me tearing up a bit. It must have taken a lot for her to swallow her pride and apologize. I can't imagine how that felt to you for her to say those things. That is great. And I'm sure the money is nice to have, but the apology would have meant so much on it's own, I am guessing!

from you title I thought this would be a bad post! What a great story! Thanks for sharing!

I bet.. that she is now doing Childcare and has been similarly burned or the next person she tried it with took her to court and she had to pay, pay, pay.

Either that or she truly has seen the light, going through the fight of cancer with her child and realizes what a gift some people can be.

This girl is a dental assistant...
she always did make decent money.. better than just minimum wage...
But... she is also a single mom.. now of 3 children.. not just the two I had in daycare...
The one thing I did say to this young lady while at the restaurant... was.. Thank you for basically 'giving my kids back'.. these kids were in my care 10 hours a day for almost 2 years.. I also had the other two kids.. from the other sister... and there were times it was just a disaster... 4 cousins... 2 sets of siblings... single mom's...
but... I loved those kids...and I helped them deal with allot..
The dad's were both in prison.. the mom's were both single...young... and.. the two sisters fought allot...which left these kids fighting/argueing with each other... about everything...
Anyway...after she apologized that night.. the two kids came over and talked with me... hugged me... it was great... and I told her they wouldn't have been able to do that if she hadn't apologized and opened up that opportunity for them..and me...

As for why I didn't take them to small claims court.. I don't know... it was such a dramatic mess at the time... they sent ugly text messages... phone messages... their dad (the grandfather) sent me an ugly letter ...
It was close to $1,200.. and they had signed agreements/contracts so I could have won for sure.. but I just let it go..

She may never finish paying the balance.. and that's ok.. after the apology.. and coming here that next day... with cash in her hand...
