Yesterday we went to an open house for Will's preschool which he will be starting next week. Yay! There was a little boy there who will be in Will's class that wears a special backpack. I was talking with his mom because I had seen her son at Respite Care before. He's really cute and unforgettable. His mom told me he has a feeding tube. I'm not exactly sure what the backpack is for, but I've only ever seen him with it on and I think it must have something to do with his feeding tube because it beeps as if alerting that something is happening.
When we were driving home I was telling Mickey more about my conversation with this boy's mom and all the helpful things she had told me about getting more help and services and money from various organizations. I said something about the boy and how his mom said he has a lot of health issues. I didn't realize Colin was listening so intently, but he said to us something along the lines of, "I wish I could have talked to that boy with the backpack. I love kids. They are my favorite. I never want to hear about them being hurt."
Oh how sweet is my little angel Colin. I never want to forget this. It is one of the first times he's shown compassion for another individual. I was so proud to hear him say this.
Our sweet little Colin has a heart made of pure gold. His feelings run deep. He is truly one of God's angels on earth.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very sweet boy! He learns his compation from his parents!!
ReplyDeleteAwe Colin <3. That little boy started with Miles in the spring 2012. You are right he is unforgettable and I was sad that he was in morning last year too. And this year he and Will wil be in morning. Good by Colin. I would not be surprised if as an adult he goes into working with kids with special needs :)
