Chalkboard Paint.

I was down at Home Depot with Jeffery, of all people, picking out three gallons.

He helped paint Seraph’s room all in one weekend.

That was a surprising twist of events. Jeffery turned out to be a pretty amazing friend.

It started with him finding me at the diner one afternoon, asking about where to buy salt for the lingering ice that was covering the sidewalk and driveway every morning.

He brought over a bag that afternoon and then stored it in the garage for me.

Maddy kept me on time with garbage days, and would always pile all the bills into a nice neat stack when she grabbed the mail for me.

Liam had left behind a card to use for everything, but I never once touched it.

I paid the bills from my account, bought groceries, paid for field trips, and got the girls the new school supplies they needed.
