What an incredibly satisfying moment! It’s a story of real triumph and growth—the kind of closure many people wish they could experience with their past. The contrast between the old high school torment and the present-day support of your “restaurant family” is such a testament to how far you’ve come and the respect you’ve earned. And the team rallying behind you? That’s the icing on the cake!
You handled Heather’s return with such class and poise. Standing up calmly, in the face of her arrogance, really shows the strength you’ve built over the years. And the way your team had your back speaks volumes about the environment you’ve created, one rooted in respect and kindness. You’ve clearly become the kind of leader who doesn’t just run a business but fosters a true community.
And that parting line, “Karma, served with a side of justice”—chef’s kiss! What a perfect blend of wit and confidence, proof that you’re far beyond the petty high school drama she’s still clinging to. This moment is more than a victory over an old bully; it’s an affirmation of everything you’ve achieved and the person you’ve become.
Brilliant girl!
A little girl tells her mom: “Mommy, a funny lady came to visit while you were at work”. Mommy replies: “Not right now. Let’s wait for Daddy to come home”. So they wait, and when Daddy arrives, Mommy asks: “Okay, sweetheart, what were you saying about Daddy and the funny lady?”
Daddy starts to speak, but Mommy cuts him off. “You be quiet. I’ll talk to my lawyer in the morning. Go ahead, dear.” The little girl continues: “Daddy told me to stay downstairs while he and the lady went upstairs, but I followed them without him knowing. I saw them hugging and laughing at the top of the stairs.
Then they went into your bedroom and closed the door, but I peeked through the keyhole”. “Good job, sweetie”, Mommy says with a smile. “What did you see?” “I saw them hugging and laughing some more.”
“And then what happened?” Mommy asks. The little girl answers proudly: “Then they did what you and Uncle Jack did last summer when Daddy went to Vancouver!”
