The funny things that make me laugh

Caleb is funny.  Yet so very very quiet.  Today at school the drill team was doing a fundraiser.  You pay $6 and you can send 2 cupcakes and a heart balloon to someone along with a message.  Well...Caleb received one but doesn't know who it was from.  It has such a sweet message inside.  It read:  Hi Caleb! Did you know you are awesome?  You should! You brighten my day seeing you. You are so spunky and kind and smart.  Never forget your worth! You're the best! You are loved.  Love-A Friend.  The word loved was underlined.  NOW...I do not think it is the gushy kind of love they are talking about.  I about cried when I read this note.  Someone out there really made Caleb's day.  Someone out there is amazing.  Someone out there has built him up a bit.  He knows it isn't that kind of love...but a love that only a friend gives.  A love that comes from someone with a Christ like life.  Caleb and I talked a little about the balloon and note.  Normally the seniors deliver the messages and have lipstick on and and give out kisses along with the special delivery.  HE was SOOOOOOOOOO glad they were not the ones to deliver his.  A freshman girl brought his to the classroom and just left it.  He told me he felt his face turn bright red.  And then some kid said HEY....what about the kiss?  Then the girl explained that only the seniors could do that.  He was so relieved.  It was embarrassing enough for him.  Then Caleb and I went to pick up Zachary from a friends house.  We talked about who could have given him the message.  He told me who he wished it was and then said if it was her he would probably faint.  LOL.  I told him he would be 16 in less than 6 months and could ask her on a date.  He said NO.  He doesn't want to go on any dates because he doesn't think he would know what to say.  It was hilarious when he said I could write him a script.  He said he could wear an ear piece and I could talk to him through that.  So we sort of set up a scenario and I said:  Tell her she looks good in red.  And then....being his funny self....he said:  "she looks good in red".  We both busted up laughing.  Oh it makes me sad to think Caleb only has about 2 years left at home.  That isn't very long.  Time goes so fast and I don't think I am ready for it.  This is one great kid.  That girl was right when she said he is smart and kind.  But my favorite part was when she said NEVER FORGET YOUR WORTH.  If all teens could realize that and if they could see how we see them and how their Heavenly Father sees them and their potential....what a difference that makes.  I have never ever been so pleased with the youth in our ward.  We have been in a lot of wards and BY FAR the youth that are Calebs age are absolutely amazing.  They have built Caleb up and have accepted him and included him and they just love to have fun....at activities and dances and camping trips.  I just love them. And so does Caleb.
