Meet Mac, my husband of almost 8 years. We are lucky to have found each
other, after both of our long marriages left us leery about finding love again
at all, let alone marrying again. That story is for another day.
Today was his day.. he was one of the " chosen" few from his
elementary school to have one of the children toss a cream pie in their
faces. You can see by his expression, he is not aware yet of what will
happen today. He is cute, and blissfully unaware.
This past week at Mac Cagle's school, he found out he was one of ten
employees to be " chosen" for the pie in the face, accidentally. Kids
kept coming up to him and asking if they"could do the pie". He had no
clue what that meant, so he kept saying " Sure". He loves those
children, and they adore him. He is the Crew Leader Custodian. Mr. Mike, and
every day when they go home, he waits in the halls to give them their Hi Fives
in his gravelly voice. I love that voice.
Then he finds out his " collection bucket", with the money
going towards a charity hosted by the PTA, is the fullest bucket. Day of pie
toss, he needs to choose the tosser amongst " his kids", and he chose
Angel... he is bound to a wheel chair.
When my husband enters the pie toss " arena", the crowd chants
Mr Mike! Mr Mike! and he got all teared up. Of course, when he got Angel Pie,
they all went wild.
Humbled by the love.
Here comes Angel!!
He came home all excited to tell me about his day, and how moved he was
by the chanting of his name by all the children. He said, it was an awesome
day, and so it was.
