Awesome

Today my oldest told me about his day. Four of his friends at school were paired up into two teams - they each told my child he was "awesome" and wanted him on their team. My son beamed, truly beamed, smile from ear to ear with a true twinkle in his eye. The moment I cherish and will for my life. True radiating happiness. He even said, that is the first time such and such has called me awesome.

Sometimes you hold your heart in your hands over and over aching while watching your child find their way in the world. Some children are easier, some harder. This sweet child has experienced a lot of heartache in relation to friends and to hear this made me beam with happiness.
