I feel bad for Sam. He eats at a lunch table where he is joined by several other kids in the school. Yesterday, he found out they're all graduating. Apparently at lunch, they had one of those "remembrance" type slide shows and in one or two of the slides, he was pictured with a couple of friends. "The music really fit" said Sam, and it made him cry a little.
I found this out at his bedtime last night. He didn't offer it, but when I covered him and asked him how his day went, he hesitated for just a split second before saying "Good". It was long enough for me to ask him if he was sure about that. "Why do you ask?" he said.
So, I knew something was up. He let me know what was going on and he tried not to get teary. But he didn't completely succeed. I tried to console him, but I felt bad. These friends mean a lot to him.
When I looked in on him later, he was hugging three of his stuffed animals for all he was worth.
I slept awful last night.
