dpodesta Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Today on the way to dropping Carson off before school, he asked me "What are we going to do about Christmas?" I asked him what he meant. He asked me how I would get Christmas presents without seeing them since usually Mommy and him would buy them for me. He then said so does that mean only I (Carson) will have persents on Christmas morning? I couldn't believe this was coming from my 7 year old. He is looking out for me in so many ways I can't even begin to list them. I told him to get with one of his Aunts and they would help him get some things for me. I wasn't even considering or thinking about myself for Christmas just him. Life always throws you surprises.Love alwaysDerek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Oh my dear Derek ~ What this tells me is how much Carson takes after his wonderful father and his precious mother. What a fine boy you are rearing! As a parent and as a man, you have my deepest respect and admiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janieb0828 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Derek,Your son, is really speaking from his heart. That just brought tears to my eyes. For a seven year old to think of others in very few and far between at this time of year. You have a wonderful Son!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusky Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Derek,Carson is most certainly a reflection of the man who is raising him - so very well. As the old saying goes - and in a very good way - "The apple does not fall to far from the tree". You are raising a kind and warm hearted person who continues to reflect all the kind and loving things that you have taught him and I'm sure that Karen taught him as well - in the past. She would be so pround of her son and how well you are raising him. Kodo's Daddy!Great story.John - Dusky is my handle on hereLove you Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennO Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Awww..shucks. We so often forget how profound children can be. They see and feel so much more than we could ever realize. The words he choose are no doubt a result of the kind and gentle parents who have raised him well. Kudos to you and Karen..Merry Christmas it is...
