Aww Moment

Thought I had three aww-moments that people have told me in passing this last week. Can only remember two, hopefully the third will come to me by the end of this post.

1. Visiting my friend Cece on her birthday she shared with me that morning that Cam (my god-son) had come in while she was getting ready for the day and declared that it was Mom’s birthday! Not Cam’s birthday, or Maggie’s birthday (his sister), or Sue-anne’s birthday, or Dad’s birthday - but that it was Mom’s birthday. Just melts my heart that I got family billing in his little mind. Especially since I only get to see him a few times a month if I’m lucky.

2. After realizing that I did not have a fever and wasn’t sick, but that it was just really hot and humid at the end of September, I schlept over to JP and had a nice dinner outside on a friend’s back porch. It was just over a year ago that we were all together at Dawn and Bill’s wedding up in NH. Bill followed up the next day with this email of a story (they had forgotten to share that evening): “We went back to the orchard for our anniversary last week and had lunch in Walpole. Dawn was wearing the shawl and a woman passing by us literally stopped in her tracks to admire it and say how beautiful she thought it was. It was just a really nice moment and the woman was so taken with admiration, and surprised when Dawn told her that a good friend had made it.” So nice to see the whirlwind knitting is still being appreciated after the event.

And the third moment has passed me by, aww - life.
