My son turned 18 in lockdown, has done Year 12 in lockdown and what he has missed out on this year (along with so many other children of Class of 2020) is heartbreaking. But there is a little girl who lives across the road from us who has been learning remotely whilst her single Mum recovers from a broken foot and works long hours from home. This little girl (who is the sweetest kid) has taken a liking to my son and some afternoons when school finishes she knocks on the door and asks if he’ll play basketball with her. So he spends half an hour with her, praising her skills and how great she is. Yesterday as she knocked he sighed as he got up to go, I told him that he could say no if he didn’t feel like it. He replied “Why? She’s 5 and can’t play with her friends. I feel sorry for her”.
All I’ve ever wanted my kids to be, is kind. I think my wish has been granted
