at lunch today

N looked over at me and asked, "Ms. Haley, will you be my friend?"

Yesterday, when his mom picked him up she looked at me like I was about to rip a bandage off her arm. I enthusiastically told her that we had a wonderful lunch together and that he didn't play with any of his food. She started to cry. Sometimes its easy to forget how hard her life must be -- how hard to she works, hopes, fights, dreams for her son.

I sat with him again today so that when she picks him up I will be able to tell her that we had another excellent lunch.
