@village mom 7- you are sucha bright spot in my disheartening dau! I just wanted to say that this response to my rant of frustration is one of the very kindest things that I have seen happen in quite a while.
I understand that it may not have changed anything about my situation but the empathy offered without condition here has been such a boost to perspective on the world lately,
Despite the lack of any additional info or response from HSN who are still showing my chair as processing for arrival on the 5th of Oct, i feel heard.
I did call todau and insisted on speaking with a senior supervisor in order to find out who might be able to call purchasing and find out if this product will ever be available or if they will just let it sit there until the system cancels it out.
That person was also empathetic and kind but she was not a finish carpenter, nor does she upholster, so my chair order being filled is a pretty dismal slim to not a chance reality.
However, I truly do appreciate the efforts of Mary to check for alternatives and to offer a smaller alternative with less features -but she was willing to discount the shipping and gave me the option to think it over and call back.
It reminded me that we need to remember to prioritize the pursuit of grace to offer to others and to find empathy for others daily-While it may not change any circumstances, it it can be life enriching for our own quality of life. That is worthwhile 🙂 to pursue.
