Day 108
Hey, Marni C., this is your
spoiler alert!
I’ve got a surprise planned
for a friend who’s moving and I’m excited because I think she’s going to love
it.
For the past several days,
I’ve been searching my computer photo files (quite a feat) to pull together an
online photo book of pictures of her son and mine. Think of it as a retrospect over the years, if you
will. The two are best
friends.
I'm amazed at how many
photos I have of the two of them together: First days of school. Basketball. Birthday parties.
Neighborhood get-togethers.
Town festivals.
Halloween. Fourth of July.
My favorite photo shows the
two of them at a Flamingo Night we hosted at our house last summer. Colored
plastic necklaces threaten to weight them down. I. grins at the camera while E. grins at him. A click of a camera tells the story of
how these boys lives’ are wrapped up and around each other.
When they get older, I want
them to remember how there was a time when the biggest problem they had was
deciding who got to be Anakin.
I order two books, one for her
son and one for mine. I want both
of them to remember.
Ashley, this is my first time reading your blog (sorry!) and as I sit in my little apartment away from my family I totally teared up reading this. Thank you so much for doing this. Friendship is so important!
