My hugs

This post is more for me to remember (since this takes the place of my journal most of the time) than for you guys.
Background--when I was dating Mark,the first thing that started turning "like" into "love" was the way he treated his mother. He was very affectionate,sweet and protective. He didn't care who was around,he always gave her a hug and told her he loved her before leaving the house. And he showed alot of respect to her.I have always told my boys that the way they treat their mom is the way they'll treat their wives.And I always add that most girls know that and will pay attention to how they treat me once they start dating.My boys are pretty great.But I worry as they get older how their friends being around will affect this.
So,here's what happened today. Jake forgot something for his science fair project that they were working on today.He just HAD to have it,quickly. Of course it was first thing in the morning,I had just gotten kids off to school and was still in pj's.I quickly got ready for the day and rushed off to the school.When I walked into his classroom his face lit up! He was so excited he got up,ran to me and gave me a huge hug and told me he loved me! Right there in front of his entire 6th grade class. No hesitation. He didn't care who was around. He loves his mom,respects his mom,and loves to give hugs!!
I don't care how old they get,it's the little things that count. And no mom can EVER have too many hugs!
