What a tender heart

The other day I was in the kitchen cutting up watermelon for our neighborhood lawn party, and I sat Charlie in front of my computer to watch a movie to keep him preoccupied. I put the Polar Express in, one of Charlie favorites. He was memorized by the movie which was nice because I was pushing it time wise. Hopefully you have seen the show so that you will remember the part about the movie I am about to describe. During this certain scene a little poor boy is on the back of the train singing about how he has never seen Christmas before, and the little girl is singing with him but telling him how wonderful it is. It really is a touching scene, but to my surprise Charlie turns around and looks at me with tears falling down his checks, and said in a soft choked up voice, "Mommy, This is so sad, the little boy has never seen Christmas before. It just is making me so sad." OK so that just made me brake down go over and give him a huge hug and shed some tears with him. Not because the movie is so sweet, but that my little boy is so sweet and tender that he was so moved a silly animated movie. He just might drive me crazy most of the day, but these are the moments that I will treasure forever.
