We had a busy morning of talking about everything we would be doing over the next seven months. He went through the closer days, moved onto no summer school, then to whether he would see his teacher this summer, to getting to see his best friend in August but hopefully sooner, then about the Christmas lights being put up and the flags taken down on the bridge, to see night Santa, and finally seeing fish Santa. This does not include all the random babysitters and other people that he is missing from his life now. He kept showing me pictures of his best friend when we saw him at Halloween last year. And of course, the blue pants talk.
We got ready for the bus and it was lots of talk about what his day would hold. It wasn’t long before the bus came to get him and off he went to school. I had a follow-up radiation appointment to go to before I picked him up from school for his therapy. Thankfully, everything looked good and I was released from the radiation department. I went to get Owen and I got to hear his exciting news. He got to see his best friend at school today because it was moving-up day for the new kids entering middle school.
“My best frand came to my middle school,” he said. He went on and on about when he would get to see his friend again and that he would be in school with him in August. He was so happy. He talked about his best friend all the way to his therapy sessions.
He did pretty good His therapist said. He was still focused on her clothing but was able to do the exercises. He did tell her about seeing his best friend as well. He was pretty calm on the way home but talked about his day and all that it meant to him. I got him his requested Burger King. He was beyond happy about seeing his friend and he talked about it all during dinner.
On the way home he said, “Dear God I want to see a lion.” I truly do not know where it came from but maybe we will get to see one at a zoo someday. The night was filled with excitement reminiscing about his day and I’m hoping that it doesn’t keep him from sleeping all night. He is very excited about August. My happiness came from seeing his joy and knowing that he got to see his best friend. Find your happiness and savor the moments. Smiles to all and donut daze!
