Kelli at There’s No Place Like Home hosts “Show and Tell Friday” asking “Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there’s a story behind your special something, that’s even better! If you would like to join in, all you have to do is post your “Show and Tell” on your blog, copy the post link, come over here and add it to Mr. Linky. Guidelines are here.“
You know how we get used to the things we have around us and don’t “see” them any more (which is probably why we like to rearrange them sometimes), and then one day something catches our eye and brings a smile. That happened this morning with this little figurine. Jesse bought it for me at the gift store at the camp he went to last summer.
When he first went to camp in about the 4th grade, he used some of the spending money we sent with him to buy something for each of us. I’m not sure why he thought of it: traditionally none of us brings back presents when we travel. But he’s continued to do that every year. This morning I “saw” this again and it reminded me of the love of a then 13, now 14 year old boy for his mom. I’m glad he’s not afraid to show it.
Barbara,
That is so sweet, especially from a teenage boy! Blessings and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours…
You are so right…what a great post.

Thank you for sharing this sweet story of your son’s thoughtfulness.
Oh, I’ve never received anything from my boy like that (he’s 18). I am touched by your son’s sweetness.
What a sweet story and a sweeter son!
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings

How sentimental…your post warmed my heart.
What a sweet son! You are a lucky mom and obviously he knows he’s a lucky son 🙂
That is so cute, and sweet memories!
Thanks for sharing.

Awww, that is so sweet!
How sweet. I love these precious memories
That is so precious indeed! Having two sons who are now grown, I know how hard it is for some males to show emotions so when they do something like this it means a lot:-) xo
Hi Barbara, your son is a great boy and that’s a lovely figurine! Thanks for sharing this sweet moment.
Oh……..so cute!
Merry Christmas! Sharon
I adore my girlies, but I have to say there is just something about sons, isn’t there? It looks like you have done a wonderful job with your young man… he obviously loves his mama:-)
How sweet! My teenage boys suprise me once in a while too!
That is very sweet, Barbara!
