My First-Born:
A few days ago, in his High School Freshman French class, a fellow student dropped her things so he helped her pick up her stuff. As his Mom, I wouldn't expect anything less from him. But what touched me is that, the girl tells him, "I can tell that you're a kind and humble person". I'm so touched that a fellow classmate, his own age, was able to see this in my son and was kind enough herself to express it to him. He was actually taken aback by the compliment and expressed to me, "How can she know that already..." Yes, he truly is humble and his kind energy just radiates.

My Youngest: His school presents Virtue Awards every month. The month of October is for "Acceptance". To be honest, sometimes these Awards can feel like it's just handed out randomly, given to kids that seem less deserving than others. Some months, it feels like, yeah, the kid who received the award really deserves that. And unfortunately, there are times when, from what I know or have heard about certain kids, the award presented seems so off base. His teacher approached me and said that she asked the newest kid in his class (a 7th Grader who just started this year) who he felt welcomed him the most and showed him the most kindness. The boy answered that it was my son, my youngest baby. This news made me so emotional. I'm so proud of my son for inhabiting such a beautiful trait as "Acceptance".
The Huz and I are so blessed with high achieving sons, ambitious in achieving their goals and passionate about the things that stir their souls. And we've always been so proud of every accolade, every Report Card, every achievement. But what really stirs my emotions and makes me feel accomplished as a Mom is when I hear what good, kind-hearted people my sons are! I can not adequately express how incredibly proud I am of both of my wonderful sons!!! Thank you, Lord, for blessing us! 🙏 May we continue to put forth love, compassion and positivity out into the world! 🌎💙
