Aden recently got rewarded at school for being an all-round good kid. In turn I rewarded him for being so with some credits for his video game. His attitude is something that I'm, I mean we, are incredibly proud of. Both of them are inspirational. When I thought I couldn't be any prouder, he stuns me with this:
We could do a lot worse than looking at the world through our children's eyes. It's just so pure and untarnished. I love that he corrected me, and I love how he corrected me. It was instant, unthinking, natural. Any shame I felt for making him feel that he had to correct me was replaced immediately by an overwhelming pride in the way he calmly said it and more so how he views life without his Mammy. It's incredibly comforting to know that he considers her present tense still. It isn't just Aden, Hallie, when she is drawing and painting her images of our family, which she often does, always includes Mammy.
May this view never change.
