She was so excited, she reminded me all week, and helped pick out her gift while out shopping this past weekend.
This morning I had a dream I was taking the most beautiful sunrise photos in the African Serengeti, when I click the shutter, instead of hearing the mirror flip, I hear, "Wake up mom! Today is Sunday and we have to get ready for Sukari's birthday party!"
Sigh. I love my kids, and seeing her dedication to a friend reminded me of my childhood and the fun I had hanging out with the neighborhood kids.
We get to the party, and I instantly recognize Sukari's mom. We went to middle school together, more than 20 miles from my daughter's elementary school, 15 years ago.
It's amazing to see the next generation of kids; playing together, enjoying life and building friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime.
