My oldest son, Mike, has a friend named Andre, who he has been friends with for probably 6 or 7 years. They met when they both lived in Colorado. Actually, I think they met when Andre and his parents and sister moved there from South Africa. Andre's mom tells me that Mike was Andre's first friend after they moved here. They have both moved away from Colorado (Mike moved back here in 2003, and I think Andre actually moved before that), but have stayed really close, which I think is AWESOME, especially given the fact that they are young and sometimes young kids don't recognize the true value of a true friendship.
Anyway, Andre came to visit yesterday and will be here for a week. This is the first time I've met him, and he seems like a very, very nice young man. Exceptional, actually. I'm hoping a little rubs off on Mike! Mike is exceptional in his own way and I am terribly proud of him, but he does need a little polishing (and he refuses to let me spit on my thumb to wipe his face!)...
I hope they have a good time while he's here!
