Card for Luke

Dylan's best friend at pre-school is moving away soon. We dreaded the inevitable. Last year Dylan had a friend move to Canada and he asked if he could invite him to his birthday party "so he could come back." This morning I found Dylan making a card with a couple nice photos pasted to paper of the boys posing together. There were three red shapes and two green shapes. I asked if the red ones were strawberries. He said they were hearts. I asked about the little lines. Dylan said they were worms, because Luke loves digging up worms. Somehow I found my son's heartworms endearing and the sentimentality struck home with me. The green shapes were the basketball hoop they played on together and "the high green grass by the hoop." I looked Dylan in the and admired him and his work. I reminded him I loved him and told him he made a great card. He seemed happy, but I wonder how much he really understands about his best friend leaving the state. Dylan told his teacher that he wanted to move to Virginia too. Thanks for the memories Luke, I hope Dylan finds another friend as good as you.
