I picked the kids up from preschool today...Mason, little papers in hand asked, "mom, don't you want to see my work?", assuming it was more of the same little drawings he does daily I said "sure". He handed a picture that I couldn't figure out with a picture of a person on it and a handwritten word "grandma". I asked him who drew it and he answered that he had. "What is it?" I asked..." a picture of grandma Marla - So we don't forget what she looks like"...I am speechless...
Mason never met Marla (Steve's mother) but knew about him shortly before she passed away in 2002. Although he has never met her, he knows of her presence and has seen many pictures. It is amazing that in a typical school day, filled with activities, screaming and playing children, singing and a million other distractions that she entered his mind. He amazes me. We agreed that she loved the picture :).
