He's BIG, rough & tough on the outside.
On the inside.....kind & generous.
How do I know? I see it all the time.How does his teacher & classmates know?
Because he showed them just how big his heart really is. He didn't say it, he just did it.
For Valentines Day, Ben's class was to decorate a box to collect Valentines. He wasn't going to do it. As they were going to be judged and a winner declared. After a little coaxing on my part, he came up with a great idea. Covered the box in brown paper, the ends in aluminum foil & printed out a picture of a Hershey's Bar. Done.
I was helping at school on Valentines Day, when his homeroom teacher stopped me in the cafeteria. "I have to tell you about Ben today". He won the Valentines Box contest today. He was voted on by his peers. "And then you know what he did? He turned right around and gave the great big Hershey's kiss to the 2nd place student!"
Melt. A Mom moment. A gushy, gooey Mom moment.
Ben also told me about his moment. He said, "the 2nd place winner was looking a little sad that he didn't win, and he did have a good box. So I gave it to him".
Melt. Another Mom moment. Another gushy, gooey Mom moment.
I am so very, very proud of my Sweetheart. All wrapped up in a big, rough & tough boy.
Sshh. Don't tell anyone. He has a soft, gooey center.
"Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk. It must be a thing of action and sincerity."
