Mrs Thomas and Mrs Stephanie will be proud...This is the note I received from Gage while I was sick a few days back. I could hear him sounding out words, but didn't know exactly what he was doing. I bragged on him and of course, gave him many hugs and kisses. A few days later, I had to tell him "I hope you feel better" when he battled the nasty stomach bug. He ended up being ill off and on for 10 days with that icky stuff and missed two days of school along with one snow/vacation day throwing up. Poor child - I felt so sorry for him and his little pale face and dark eyes. Gage has lots of empathy, and loves to write get well wishes and thank you cards. Whenever someone gives him something, he'll say "I need to write a thank you note, don't I?".
He is always thankful for everything, no matter how small, and I hope he always will be. A gift is never too small to be unappreciated.
I could have received a large, expensive gift, bouquets of flowers and fancy cards, and I could not have enjoyed them more than the penciled words on a green post-it note written by my five year old son. It truly IS the thought that counts!
