I have a friend. His name is Ian and he is about 12 years old. Ian is full of energy, life, curiosity, & he likes to connect with people. He is comfortable in any age group, I think, and he is INTERESTING. Ian is my friend.
I am HAPPY that I can have friends from ages 12 to 100 — that my life is not confined to my so-called age group. Ian loves to come into my shop, and his honest innocence is refreshing as he comments on all sorts of things he sees here. He is an easy prompt to get any conversation going. We talk about everything that crosses his mind, and sometimes mine. His young mind is ready, willing and able to absorb anything you have to say….so you can see why Ian is one of my favorite people.
Ian, you are a gift. Thank you.
As a mom of adult boys, I am deeply thankful that I have created two very good humans myself. Charles and Robert. I love their differences and how their individual spirits have been shaped. Sharing thoughts and opinions is a changing role that I was not sure I would like. But, it really is a cool thing!
As Mother’s Day approaches, I usually don’t make a big fuss. But, this year I’m celebrating being a Mother. To all the mother’s out there — enjoy your children at any age. Maybe we should give them a Mother’s Day gift? What do you think?
For those of you who want something memorable to give mom or kids on Mother’s Day give the most meaningful gift there is…..
