Sweet, still sick

I made a very large omission while recanting the wedding reception over the weekend.   Cindy’s brother asked her if she could do the toast.  Cindy was extremely nervous about it and spent a lot of time coming up with something heartfelt yet funny at the same time.  Like the other formalities, the toast came very early, catching her off guard somewhat.

Her honest nervousness when she grabbed the mic was apparent but she soon had the entire reception laughing and later crying right along with her.  After she finished her brother ran up to Cindy and gave her a huge hug as tears streamed down his face.  When she got back to our table I hugged her as I wiped my tears from my face as well.  Mine were tears of pride because she did so well despite being so scared of the scenario.   Through out the night various guests told her how great her speech was which made Cindy feel very happy. It may have been the best toast I ever heard at a wedding I have attended.

I spent all day yesterday feeling miserable and sick.  The feeling has continued into today so I am burning a sick day in the hopes of both feeling better as well as not spreading the illness around our office.
