"Friends... they cherish one
another's hopes. They are kind to one
another's dreams."
~ Henry David Thoreau
My lovely
friend has -- no surprise -- two lovely children. Her older child is an 11th grader, a very
kind and polite young man. On a recent
outing for pizza, I observed him talking to two of the younger boys, both 5th
graders. It was amazing to watch this
11th grader in conversation with the other two.
At the end of the evening, I thanked him for being so kind to them. The next day, his mother said to me that he
was confused by my thanks -- he considers them friends.
