Lifes Like That

Today was my husband’s first day back on the job since last week.  He was on vacation all last week.  When he arrived at work this morning his boss called him into the office.  He asked him if he had any vacation days left and when my husband said no, he told him he could take Thursday and Friday off of this week with pay to go spend some time with his mother.  One of the guys he worked with told his boss about how sick his mother was and how she is now in palliative care.  He also told my husband if he could spare him for the entire week he would let him off.  I thought this was so very generous of his boss and it gave me goosebumps when he told me this story.
