The Heart of a Friend

TODAY MY SWEET BOY, you once again surprised me with your sensitive nature. We were driving to the lake & out of the blue you asked me if I had invited the brothers Jason & Christopher* to Starbucks the other day when we ran into them there. I said, "No, it was just a coincidence that they were there". A few minutes passed then you asked me if you had said "Jason & Christopher". I said yes, & you continued to say "Good, because I don't want to leave Christopher out. When we were younger, Nathan* & some of us boys would tease Christopher, but I'm a kind hearted boy now Mom. Christopher & I are friends & I know he appreciates my buddyness & I appreciate his buddyness." I had to laugh my sweet child at your sincerity, rivaled only by your matter-of-factness. It is music to a mother's ears to hear her child make such unsolicited & independent decisions of kind heartedness. I pray that you will always be such a tender soul & to always choose to be a good buddy.
