last Thursday evening my pc crashed. Friday i`ve found out i`ve most probably lost important data and work of many weeks (I know, I know, backup... dont tell me about it, banging my head in the wall already... damn its just a little more than a year old!) I bursted out in bitter tears. Jamie came and watched me concerned for a while and than, he hugged me tight and kissed me and said “ mami, dont be sad, I promise I`m going to be a good boy... “ I`ve hugged him back and explained him that I`m not sad because of him, but because I`ve lost things that were important for me, and that he makes me the happiest in the world...
he answered “ok than, I`m glad because its really hard to be a good boy”...
and that moment he made me realize I reacted in vain and made life a greater shadow than it really is.

Kids have such a unique way of showing us our faults....that was one beautiful eye opening story!!!! ????? · 2009-11-02: 16:00

Awww, that's a beautiful thing, Hope your work is at least replaceable or redo-able, if not retrievable. ????? · 2009-11-02: 18:34

great shot! i love the sweet innocence and honesty of children... your boy is sweet. ps: i feel for you re: your pc... my laptop crashed last wednesday, took it for repairs today and hoping that my photos/data will be recovered... :( worldthrumylens · 2009-11-02: 20:23

Very sweet:) dontblink · 2009-11-02: 21:14

You always have to appreciate the honesty of a child. How precious he is....and how he evokes truth. :) livelovelaugh · 2009-11-02: 21:20

That boy has real talent :-) davids · 2009-11-03: 11:11

Aw, I know how you felt - I do neglect to backup... :( Thanks for the story, I hope I will remember it whenever I will strive again to be "perfect" or expect somebody else to be perfect...cause indeed it's hard to be a good boy...or a good girl. redro · 2009-11-03: 13:56

this is terrible news. losing data is a bit like losing some of your memories... but then again, maybe you needed to make space for new ones? ;-) no, should not joke about it. your son realizes one of the major truths of life for men, so so very early. i hope he forgets it when he gets 6... :-) stormfish · 2009-11-04: 16:07

Very sorry for your data loss but glad that Jamie is there for you :-) He's a very sweet boy. A great photo to go with the story. etodd80 · 2009-11-06: 01:01

Sorry to hear you lost something that was important to you. Children can kiss anything better. ????? · 2009-11-10: 08:39
