Next to it was my son. He had banged into the wall rough housing and that caused it to fall down. Thankfully it didn’t hit him, but my eagle was destroyed. Now, I don’t even remember where I bought it or for how much, but it was such a find for me. It was a life size sculpture of a bald eagle head.

My son came over to me and with the saddest face and told me that he was sorry. He gave me a hug and asked me if I would like him to make a picture of an eagle. I said I would like that a lot.

You made me cry… that is so sweet!

I’m so crying right now. Having kids makes you keep perspective especially when they are sooo sweet.

That’s so incredibly cute. It always sucks when a treasure is lost but that makes room for new treasures.

That might be the most adorable thing I have ever seen!

That seems like a pretty good replacement to me. Good for your son for recognizing that you were upset and doing a little something to make you feel better.
