The best man I know senses something is amiss even though I have not shared any details about this crisis in our lives.
The best man I know gets up in the morning and gets ready, often by the time I'm out of the shower.
The best man I know asked me yesterday morning what I wanted for breakfast as I was putting on my makeup. "A bagel," I said. "Half or whole," he asked. "Half," I responded (because I have no appetite). "Cream cheese or peanut butter", he questioned. "Cream cheese, please," I answered.
My breakfast is waiting on the table when I go downstairs.
Each evening the best man that I know feeds the dog. Sometimes I do have to remind him but he always does it when I ask.
This morning the best man that I know said again that he would make my bagel as he headed down the stairs to let in the barking dog. I didn't ask him to do this, he just saw that I was putting on my socks and recognized that I needed some extra time to get ready.
The best man I know asks me about my day and will just walk up to me and spontaneously wrap his arms around me and tell me loves me. The best man I know is caring and kind and I have no doubt that he loves me with all of his heart. He gives me sweet kisses and then will put away his toys.
The best man that I know is my six year old son and he gives me hope that, maybe, there are some honorable men in this world. I am so proud of him, his future is bright.
You keep right on raising that kid to be a great man! You're doing a good job, mom!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my little guy is amazing!
DeleteI love this! My 5 year old son recently insisted on carrying and loading all the suitcases into the car for a trip to my mom's because "those are WAY too heavy for you mommy". I swear I am writing everything on this site and just don't remember it. I don't know how two lives could be so similar.

ReplyDeleteThanks, my kids never cease to amaze me. They are my everything.
DeleteBeautiful. It's people like you raising amazing little people like your little man and I'm sure your little woman that leave me with hope in the darkness of the world that not all is lost. Keep up the good work and stay strong.
