Ahhh, Maria!! What a great story!! And with your expert storytelling! Brilliant! I chuckled all the way through - and I so love the point you've made. Actually, it could apply to other situations, too - the great job interview, the time spent dating someone who puts his best foot forward until after the wedding ... we've got to be extra careful and do as much as we can to see the whole truth, and not let our vision be obscured by promises or half-truths.

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent story, and for choosing HHH as its home! A beautiful contribution and I appreciate you more than I can say!
