Advice
I am in a pickle. I am torn between what I should do in a situation at work.
Ok you all know of my situation with my nephew, we get him July 1st, and he will be with us through December.
Also keep in mind that if you know me you know I am extremely reserved and my personal business is kept with people I trust.
So I left work early to go celebrate a 4 year old birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. I got on a minute ago to check my work email to make sure that nothing catestrophic happened while I was out for a few hours. I came across an email from someone I have never met, but I know she is in charge of our company newsletter that goes out monthly. The email basically said the following.
Stefanie,
We think what you are doing is just amazing. Many of us have gotten together and collected toys and stuff. We would like to do a story for the July newsletter. If you have a picture of you, the baby and your husband please email it to me. If not please meet us Wednesday in (Owners) office so we can take your picture with the goodies.
Okay, now what would you do?? I appreciate the generosity, but they act like I am doing something so extrodinary. I don't see it at all, he is my family, my question is who wouldn't do this?? I would probably feel different if they were both going to war. I made it clear that they were going on training missions here in the states. That's all I am allowed to know, and I know they are not going to be in the same place either. I don't know what to say to this lady. I appreciate everything but I feel like such a charity case.
