My older son doesn't get a lot of press. I don't write about him very often. That's not to say he's not notable. He's a wonderful boy, of strong character, great intelligence and warmth. He's pretty quiet, unless he's on a roll... then he could be a stand up comedian.
We don't travel often together, so there aren't that many stories from the road. He's very independent, like his mother, so he doesn't ask for much.
He's the kind of kid who'd grin ear to ear if you tossed him a $5 unexpectedly or bought a milkshake for him.
Lately, I've been working a lot. So I haven't seen that much of him. Tonight when I got home he gave me a hug. And asked if he could make me some tea. I was very touched by the gesture. Then he brought me the tea, and noted there was just a touch of sugar in it. Indeed, that's the way I like it. The fact that he knew that, and remembered and did it without prompting made me "glowy." What a great kid! The strong and silent type who sees what you do, what you like and also remembers it.
What a gesture! What a great kid! I'm so blessed. <3
