Easton and his best little buddy, Josh, met when they were about 4 and 5 months old. They grew up across the street from each other for 2 years, then we moved a few blocks away and their frienship continued to flourish. Easton has been missing his dear friend so much lately due to our sudden move to Las Vegas seven months ago. He began calling his stuffed dog, Snake, his "best friend". He told me he was doing this so he could remember Josh (his real best friend). I try to comfort him when he gets sad and is missing his friend by telling him he can call him or get on the webcam and talk to him, but he wants to play with him. Last night Easton was discouraged because he wanted a movie of him and Josh playing together. He didn't think we had one, but I came across this one and when I showed it to him he was grinning from ear to ear!
I told Easton that I'm sure they'll be able to play together again one day soon. In his 6 year-old mind, one day just doesn't come soon enough.
OK, I'm teary right now. Miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention Josh had the same ear-to-ear grin when I showed him the little movie. I sure miss Easton's happy, hearty laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet, but breaks your heart at the same time! What a cute little guy you have to love his friend so much!
