My Son’s Pride
thegavoice.comA staff member at my son’s school emailed me shortly after classes returned in August. She listened to me on the radio back in the day, and we’ve gotten to know each other in recent years, so the email was more personal than professional. “I thought you’d appreciate this,” she began.
She was visiting Mr. Carter’s second grade classroom and didn’t want to interrupt the lesson, so she stood to the side until it was over.
A few of the students were telling something about themselves to start the new year. When it was my son’s turn, he announced he had two moms. “You’re so lucky,” said one of his classmates. “I know,” was his reply.
That staff member knew what it would mean to me when she described the scene in her message and relayed that she herself was touched by the experience.
