As a back-to-school gift, I told my son he could have any shirt he wanted—basketball, football, anything he loved.
He paused, thought for a moment, and then said, “Will you make me a shirt that says, ‘I will be your friend’? That way, any kid who needs a friend will know I’m here for them.”
My heart melted. In a world where kids are often excited about showing off their favorite teams or characters, my sweet Blake just wanted to show kindness.
Never underestimate the size of your child’s heart. I’m so proud of mine.
