I went and bought his radio flyer scooter which he loved! I knew we were going to have a good turnout.
Hot dogs were being made, punch was getting cold,a text came through and then came the tears. Except they were not from any of my kids. They were mine!! I realized how much it means for my friends and family to join in on these such occasions, because one of my best friends in the world said she may not make it. My heart broke and my eyes welled up. I couldn't imagine why I felt the way I did. I didn't let my friend know how upset I was I just responded with an 'ok'. She ended up coming to the party and I was so happy! She has little ones the same age as Peyton and he loves him to death.
I guess I have learned from this experience that somethings even as small as showing up to one of your friends kids birthday parties can mean the world to them. Maybe I should think twice now before deciding not to go to something I'm invited to. Just another life lesson for me I guess.
Peyton received many great gifts and it was so wonderful to have everyone there. They may not realize it, but their presence shows me a kind of support that I need in my life! Yes I know it was Peyton's party but all the same, I appreciate everyone that came!!!
