“I feel special…”
We came home from grocery shopping yesterday evening to see this helmet sitting outside the front door. We figured Uncle Eric had been over and dropped it off for himself and that he’d be back later to add it to his stuff. Tonight, however, Steven wanted to call Uncle Eric, so Dad did. Uncle Eric said he’d dropped that helmet off for STEVEN. Whoa. Talk about a happy boy.
He put this right on and was barely able to contain the overwhelming excitment on his face. He even happily posed for pictures. He walked into his room and said, “I feel special…” kinda quietly to himself.
“I’m going to keep this helmet for all of my life,” he says. “Then, when I die, I’m giving it to MY son.”
Thank you, Uncle Eric. You couldn’t possibly have known how much this would mean.
