How Grace hurt her hand real bad
Grace and I were swinging one day.
She suddenly fell off!
"OW! My hand hurts badly!!"
Oh no! Grace let's get you a bandage!

Well, here I am with my bandage.
"I'm sorry you fell Grace"
"Well i just heard back from the hospital, they can operate
on your arm but you would be gone a long time."
''Them Im staying with you and everyone else because your all my friends."
"We love you Grace!"
I think it's wonderful that the decision was made to not just exchange and replace Grace because of her hand. Even if that ends up happening in the long run because Sophie changes her mind, this was such a great teachable moment for her to experience and (as a teacher myself) I give her a big beautiful A for her performance with it! Her actions certainly do speak of the integrity and principles she is forming for herself.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I started out just wanting her to know that her Grace would be gone, then it occurred to me that there was a greater message underlying all this. I am proud of Sophie for seeing it too. Thanks for your comment.
