Hallway Hug

Dear Sawyer,

For Valentine's Day, you usually come home from school with a large bag filled with valentines, pencils, erasers, stickers, random plastic tchotchkes and, of course, dozens of chocolates, lollipops and other candy. This year, though, you came home with a mere five cards and just a handful of candies. You passed out valentines but most of the kids in your class did not. I guess you guys are all 10/11 now and already too big for Valentine's Day cards?

Thankfully, what you aren't too big for (yet--and hopefully always!) are big hugs! Your grade had a school concert (your last elementary school concert!) yesterday and when you saw me in the hallway afterward, you ran over to me and hugged me for a really long time! My sweet little guy!

Love,

Mom
