The Irony of it All

So yesterday was a bad day, until about 6 pm. It's open enrollment for insurance at Jaron's work. We previously signed up for the insurance in September and there was a portion that said "Dependent Flex Care" well we took out 500 dollars to go into the flex spending account. I called Costco yesterday to find out how to use it. The very nice woman on the phone then proceeded to explain to me that "Dependent Flex Care" is for Daycare. So we've been paying for Daycare. I told her that I though it was flex spending and we don't need day care. She said, "Sorry but it already in there." She was surprised by my reaction when I burst into tears and start bumbling on about how our son passed away in August and we really have no use for this whatsoever, and I really thought it was the Flex Spending. Well this very nice woman said "I am so sorry for your loss. Print out this blah blah blah paper fill it out and fax it to my attention. I'll see what I can do for you. You've probably lost what has been put in, but I'll try and work something out." So I scurried around last night trying to get it faxed over before it closed. I finally got home around 6 pm last night and sat down with my sister. I started recounting my sad tale, and she burst into hysterical laughing. "Jessica, why are you laughing?" I said. Jessica responded with "Michelle, you've got to see the Irony in this. Your paying for daycare that you can't even use!!! Gavin isn't even here to use it if you wanted. And you started paying for it AFTER he went home!!!!" Well after she said it like that I was laughing just as hard with her. Of ALL the things I could have accidentally signed up for, it had to be DAYCARE?!?!?!? Now folks that is shamefully funny. So go on and laugh and don't feel bad, we are still chuckling too. Sometimes the only way through a tough situation is to laugh. Yes we lost 500 dollars. Yes, we miss our little Boy. But how the heck did it all work out like that?? Sometimes I think that Heavenly Father has a sense of Humor, he probably didn't have a hand in this, but I think he's chuckling too. And the even more Ironic thing, is that Gavin never spent a moment in a Daycare when he was alive. Yet somehow I needed it when he passed on. Hmmmmmm. Weird Day.
