The Kindness of the Next Best Thing

"Never suppress a generous thought."
~ Camilla Eyring Kimball

My son recently went on a school field trip.  When they asked for chaperone volunteers, I volunteered -- I know that my field trip days are numbered (the children are growing up faster than I could ever have imagined.)  Unfortunately, I did not get chosen as they selected two parents who have not chaperoned before.  Thankfully, my son is old enough to understand this.  I, on the other hand, was a little sad...  Again, I know my days of field trip chaperoning will be over in a few months.  And then midway through the day, I was pleasantly and unexpectedly surprised with a photo that the teacher thoughtfully sent of my son at the museum.  Sometimes the next best thing is still priceless.
