Joy that comes from another's happiness has got to be the sweetest joy there is. My middle son just got back from a minor league hockey game. He was invited by a friend from church. He had such a great time and to his six-year-old self, this probably ranks up there with Disneyland. We only had a few minutes before he had to get to bed (time change tonight, church tomorrow) but in those few minutes his delight became mine. I realized I was smiling so hard I strained my eyes.
My little guy is already lost in dreams, but I think I'll be smiling for quite a while.
You are such a great mother. I love hearing stories like these because it makes me wish I had something like this when I was younger. I played hockey all my life, so I think its a great thing that you also see the joy that it can bring someone and that you are so supportive of your son.
ReplyDeleteI really look up to you Mrs. Elliott and I hope that one day I can be at least half the woman and mother you are.
Aww, Keana, you are so sweet! You will be your own woman and mother and I know you will be wonderful :) Thank you for your kindness.
