Kelli is hosting her Show and Tell---which I just love. Thank you Kelli. So make sure you hop on over to her blog and look at all the wonderful links there, and leave your own.My Show and Tell, is a pillow. When my son was 5, he had asked me for 5 dollars for school---he said all the kids are going shopping in the school store for Christmas. It was already wrapped when he brought it home, and he set it under the tree for me----it was the most beautiful gift:) It is a pillow that stays on my bed always--and whenever I look at it, I remember the little boy that I use to carry. When he was tired from Karate, he asked me to carry him to the car---as I was holding him, I said, "Tony, pretty soon I am not going to be able to carry you", and he said, "That is okay Mommy, because when I get big, I will carry you!!!"
My son is getting big, he is 15 now--I tell him this story, does he remember it? I am not sure, but it makes us both smile:)
Sweet story and I love that his sweet gift has a place of honor!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely story and pillow.

What a sweet, sweet story! If I were you, and I'm at the ripe ol' age of 80+ and can't make it up the stairs, I'd make sure my son's nearby. *giggles*

That's so sweet, Julieann! My big boy is now 16. The other day after I had taken a nap, I said something to the effect that I slept so hard that I didn't think I wouldv'e woke up if the house had been on fire. Mac said,
ReplyDelete"Don't worry, Mom, I would've carried you out." Big boys are just as sweet as the babies, aren't they?

I'm not sure if I've been here before...but this story brought tears to my eyes!
