A different kind of good stuff
My blogging pal Skeet runs a meme every Thursday called Share Some Good Stuff. Now this isn’t any old meme. This meme asks participants to write about some good news in their area. This meme has a great purpose. Bloggers are asked to look past the bad news we see in our day to day lives and find something good. I have a different kind of news I’d like to share this week. Mine is about my older son, who is twelve. Each week this month he has been “caught” by teachers performing random acts of kindness, and that makes me so proud. To him the acts witnessed by the teachers are little things that are no big deal, things he feels everyone should do and yet doesn’t. He is friendly with a boy in a wheelchair and helps him, when some other children keep their distance. This is natural for my son. We have taught our son to treat others as he wants to be treated, and to not judge by appearance. He opened a door for someone. He helped a teacher take out trash after dissecting in science. He can be such a good boy. He helps his Grandma, my Mom, do things she has a hard time with on a regular basis if my Dad is working or traveling. He takes out her garbage, helps carry her groceries and gets her mail. Last, but certainly not least, after I had major surgery this summer he helped care for me voluntarily, for several weeks while my husband was at work. My son may have his less than perfect moments, but I am glad he has heard some of the things we have tried to teach him about life and the treatment of others. I love you son!

Karen’s last blog post..An Opportunity
Karen, it actually made me cry when I was typing it.
He sounds like a wonderful young man. I love posts like this because it will be here on your blog when he is old enough to look back and understand the love behind your words.
I was going to let him “find” it this weekend.
