The Widow's Mite

All I've got left to do on the application is to update my resume and submit that sucker. Also, there is one more letter of recommendation pending.

I'm not in a hurry, though. She's wicked busy at work and with a new and rather scary medical diagnosis. She agreed to write the letter over lunch last week and THEN she told me the scary news. I hesitate to be more specific until she has a second opinion and tells her family.

Still, it's pretty scary, and she still didn't hesitate to say she'd write my recommendation. I don't even know how to respond to that. I'm kind of amazed and thankful to be the recipient of what feels like the widow's mite. I know writing a recommendation may not sound like a big deal, but I know what her life is like these days and the medical dimension it's about to take on. I have no words.

More to come.
