Roses For Momma
Greetings to everyone!
Tomorrow, Rebecca leaves for six and a half weeks. She got in to SOS. This is definitely an answer to prayer.
Things did not look promising, and she needed to get into the March class. She needs to complete the class before she can pin on the rank of Major. She also had to take the class before her a certain deadline, or she would have to spend 18 months completing the class on-line.
Rebecca got the call last week telling her she was in. We had less than eight days to prepare.
We started breaking the news to Xavier. Momma was going to school for seven weeks. He and Rebecca have really started forming a strong bond in the last few months, so we didn't want to slow that momentum!
Today, after picking him up from soccer practice (which he has Mondays after school), we had to make a stop at King Soopers. When I told Xavier where we were going, he said "I want to buy Momma flowers."
I thought to talk him out of the idea, since Rebecca would have less than 12 hours to enjoy them. I suggested getting flowers when Rebecca came home. Xavier would not be swayed.
Once in the store, Xavier ran around the corner to the cut arrangements and near instantly picked red roses with a spray of Baby's Breath. He did not even look at the rest of the arrangements, though I tried to get him to look.
I then suggested another rose arrangement, one nearly identical to what he had chosen. Nope, he made his choice, and he stuck to it.
