There's the grace of God right there.
Oh, and you can always pray to St. Anthony when you lose stuff. He comes through every time. I have found things in the oddest places -- just like you described -- after having a chat with St. Anthony (I call him Tony.) I once found a contact lens on a football field at dusk. Two hours after we finished playing.
Congrats on your good fortune -- and may you continue to escape the pink slip!
Oh wow on finding the contact ~!
My little guy wore a contact in his left eye from 7 months til 2 years old.
We opted for that , instead of the lens implant at the time.
Then at 3 we had his 2nd surgery to scrape out all of the scar tissue from the 1st surgery ( cataract removal ) and then opted to have the IOL implant and then glasses instead of a contact.
I freakin HATED the sil-soft contacts. What a horrendous pain in the neck. But at 1 he got the gas permeable rigid contact and those were a lot easier.
Ever tried putting a contact in a 7 month old ? ugh.
Thanks FRiend ~
