All the new stock arrived last week and I am happy to say it is flying out of the door. Just when I am thinking that we are a bit manic because there is a fair amount of paper work to get through, I get a cheery phone call from one of my Mums who has very kindly been taking some pictures of her beautiful daughter modeling some of our new items. How are you, I ask casually- "not bad but my leg is in plaster I've just had to do the shopping in a wheelchair it was terrible I couldn't reach anything" How do you cope when you have a young family, a child with disabilities and Mum has a broken leg?
Grabbing a quick bit of shopping on the way home, I met Ralph, another of our lovely models Dads, "hows the family Ralph - is everything OK after Tillys last treatment? ( Tilly has SMA and needs special drugs to help strengthen her bones ) " Tilly is doing fine thanks but Mum has tripped and her leg is in plaster, I think she wanted a bit of attention for Mothers Day!"
Two mums with legs in plaster and more than most to cope with on a daily basis, still smiling and looking after their families.
Its a sharp reminder of why we enjoy life so much at Rackety's a bit of extra paperwork and some extra effort to get the orders out is nothing compared to what some of our customers deal with every day.
They say things run in threes but I am hoping not to hear about any more Mum's with broken bones this week!
