Grateful Heart



                                                        by Jacky





               A year ago, something occurred in my life for which I will always

               be grateful and appreciative.

               I am a mum of two lovely and caring boys. My children can sense

               when I am happy and when I am not. They are the best kids any

               parents would wish for and I am really ‘thrilled’ to have them in
               my life.


               One day, we all went shopping in Bromley Shopping Centre. I went

               into a shoe shop as I wanted to buy myself a pair of nice shoes, but
               I didn’t have enough money to pay for them. My eldest son asked

               me why I didn’t buy the shoes so I told him that the money I had

                 was not enough.


               The following week, it was my eldest son’s birthday. He got so

               many presents, including money. He surprised me when he said to

                 take the money to buy the shoes I didn’t buy the previous week.
               He said, “Mummy, I told you that I will look after you when I

               become a footballer.” It took me by surprise to hear a boy of such a

               young age to think about his mother that way.

               I feel grateful to have such lovely and caring boys.
