Legacy of Love

Today was an interesting day.  The day before a break ... the kids have next week off ... Holidays are here.  Lots going on with everyone.  I was the "Host" of the Winter Break Party and it was crazy.  All good in Liam's Class.   Kids just have so much energy :)  So I was trying to put kids with parents, you know, match faces and stuff; and I asked this one mom - which one is yours, etc.  And so we started talking.  Now here's the odd part.  I wear Bryant's Necklace all the time.  I assume people see it and know who he is, especially around Town and at the school.  So we're talking and somehow we started talking a little about Bryant and she said she was sorry ... and I thought, how can they not know ... but whatever and then she asked me if Christine Large took care of Bryant.  Christine was Bryant's nurse for 10 years+.  She met us on 9/11 - really THE 9/11 and in the chaos and sadness of that day, for us, a beautiful relationship began.  So anyways, I say "Yes, she did" and the woman then says "Oh wow. I feel like I know you and I definitely know all about your son".  She went on to tell me how Christine used to talk about Bryant all the time and how much Christine loved him (which I know, see post below with Christine at Julia's Orchestra performance).



Christine is like family, definitely a beautiful person inside and out.  What struck me, though, after the conversation ... I went to feel my necklace and realized the whole time, it was twisted around to the silver side (no picture).  It amazed me how I was drawn to this woman and how it made my day, even with all the joy and happiness and electric energy from the kids' party, I was overwhelmed to know really how far-reaching love and connection is and how Bryant continues to guide me and lead me to some form of peace.  So today was a good day.  Just because ... Christine was faithful and true and she did a lot for Bryant because she chose the moral high road (long story but involves who else, the school system...).... anyway a lot to be grateful and thankful for.  I should add that it was totally chaotic in the class with as many parents as students and somehow, I connected with this woman who knew Bryant.  Made my day Bryant.   xo xo Mommy

That is awesome - Christine did share her love for Bryant around, that is so nice that you were able to talk with her and share the joy of knowing that even people you don't recognize got to know Bryant and were able to bring you so much joy! Grammy
