Today I received the sweetest, most thoughtful, gift from Benjamin.When I picked him up after school, he told me he made me a gift, and would like to give it to me today. I asked if it was a Christmas gift because he could put it under the tree for me.
He said, "No, it is a present I want to give to you today."
When we arrived at home, he asked, "Can I give it to you now?"
"Sure, as long as you don't want to wait until Christmas..." I responded.
With a proud smile on his face, he held out in his hands, a mouse pad. As he turned it around so I could see the front, I was so surprised to see a picture of me as a little girl!
"I made the border olive green, Mom, because I know it is your favorite color."
Tears welled up in my eyes. I reached out, pulled him close and hugged him. It was truly a sweet, thoughtful gift.
