My kids all swim at the same time/same day. I was chatting with a friend and each time Jonah came to my end of the pool, he stopped, waved and said "Hi Mom!!" It's amazing to feel so loved.
Earlier this same day I walked over to school to drop off some lunch money for him. He was actually in line for lunch at that moment, so I tapped him on the shoulder to give him the check. As I turn to go he says "Wait Mom, can I give you a kiss??" Instead of teasing, his classmates in earshot all went "Awwww!!!" One hand, face unseen, reached out to ruffle his hair. I wanted to grab that kid and hug him.
How lucky am I to have such an amazing kid? Between the teachers and the the Y Kids staff/Swim staff at the YMCA, he's made amazing progress in every area of his life. The Y Kids staff in particular...thank you each and every day, for the wonderful work you do. You truly make an impact. You, as much as any of his school teachers, have been instrumental in the progress he has made. It does not go unnoticed, or unappreciated.
Thank you, so very very much.
