Such a gentle soul

9 Feb

Bradley’s teacher spoke to Lance this morning about him again.  Firstly, a little brag… Bradley is getting another merit badge on Thursday :)   How cool!  And back to the story…

Apparently there’s a new little girl in his class who wasn’t in the school last year.  Her mom died of cancer, and this has apparently hit her the hardest out of the three kids in the family.  Being new, she’s also been quite lonely in the class and she hasn’t made friends with the other girls in the class.  Apparently the class hasn’t been told about her mother so they have no idea what she’s going through right now.

The teacher told Lance that Bradley noticed a few days ago that she was mostly on her own and looking sad, and he’s taken her under his wing.  He plays with her now at break time and he’s introducing her to his circle of friends.

Isn’t that special?!  I’m so proud of him.

    Awww. That is amazing. You’re raising an awesome son there, and you have every right to feel proud. I wish I could say that I would have done the same when I was at school, but the reality is I probably would never have noticed that it was needed. Good for him!

    Wow, you must be so proud of your boys, they seem to be extra special. Congratulations on the merit award. I had a little lump in my throat when I read this, what a special boy.

    WoW! Bradley is an amazing little (Big) boy! You must be the proudest mum on Earth right now, and rightly so. For the Merit award, but also for the things that go much deeper than surface level. This little girl will forever remember Bradley.

    He is very special.

    Congratulations!

    Well done on the merit badge but even more special is his excellent social skills. Jenty, you should be so proud of that little man. What a boy! Do you think arranged marriages are old fashioned? ;)

    LOL! Love Cat’s comment! Let us know if you do? BTW you look fabulous!
    What a special, kind boy Bradley is – and so you should be proud of him! What lucky friends he has, to have such a caring pal. He is a credit to you all!

    Congratulations to Bradley for getting another merit badge. It’s nice to be rewarded for good behaviour! And congratulations to you and Lance for raising such a wonderful, caring, and kind son!

    That’s really, really cool. For a child to actually even notice something like that (and try and make it better) speaks volumes about his character.

    Wow, that is a very special trait. A compassionate heart is such a blessing to see in your kids.

    [...] Lance and I got invited to the school assembly this morning because Bradley received a merit badge.  This is the weekly merit that the school gives out.  I love this policy actually, because it’s so inclusive.  Every child has a chance to get the merit badge once in the year.  It gets announced in assembly in front of all their peers with the reason they’re getting it.  It could be for school work, or friendship or picking up litter… or in Bradley’s case because of school work and because he’s so kind to classmates (the story is on my other blog) [...]
