For Cole's hockey team party, which we were unable to attend, I put together some gifts for the boys. They were all distributed at the party, and as far as I understand, everyone enjoyed them. I am relieved!
Tonight, Louis and Cole walked in from hockey practice and I was handed a bottle of wine and a notecard. I opened it to find the most lovely "thank you" note from one of the boys on the team.
It was one of those moments that makes your heart hurt with the kindness of it all. I know how hard it is to cajole my kids into writing notes and expressing their feelings in a genuine and kind manner. I so appreciate the effort made - by the boy and his parents.
You're so very welcome, Cameron. You're a good boy and a pleasure to get to know. I'm so pleased, not only that you are a teammate to my Cole, but his friend as well.
