Funny Nose Friday - Sometimes they make you cry

Yes, a Funny Nose made me cry yesterday and in front of other people no less (anyone who really knows me will realize the significance of that).

So I volunteered in Jake's Kindergarten class yesterday. During recess I overheard Mrs. B. tell Jake how wonderful he was at sharing his mommy with his classmates (and I would have to agree).

After recess, all the kids were sitting on the ABC rug in the classroom listening attentively as Mrs. B explained what task I would be helping individual kids with next when Jake raised his hand. When Mrs. B called on him he proceeded to ask, "Can I go give my mom a hug?" to which she quickly agreed.

As Jake eagerly dove into my waiting open arms, Mrs. B told him to hug me good and tight because this was something I would remember when I was a much older like her. And as I found myself unable to hold back the tears that pooled up in the corner of my eyes, I couldn't help but agree that I would cherish this moment for as long as I lived.
