At the end of the last school year, Kaleb made a mistake and wronged a friend. During the summer his conscience got the better of him and he confessed what he had done. He felt really bad and wanted to make things right. I told him the best way to feel better is to apologize to his friend and ask what he could do to make amends. That's exactly what he did. It's hard to humble yourself and admit your wrongdoings, but his friend graciously forgave him. She also said instead of paying her back, to pay it forward. Kaleb thought that was a great idea!
The only problem was that Kaleb didn't have any money. He decided to sacrifice a mommy-son date and to donate the money we would have spent on the date to the Children's Hospital. That Friday night we went on our non-date to make the donation only to discover that the foundation closed at 4:00 and was only open weekdays. Kaleb was so disappointed! We weren't sure when we'd get to go again with those hours. Well the opportunity arose when Kaleb had his own appointment at CHEO. He was so excited to finally complete this journey. I was so proud of him for recognizing his mistake and repenting of it. Kaleb you are a wonderful example to me. I love you!
