Today, after rushing to pick up Mykolas from kindergarten, I find the group\u2019s \u201cdried\u201d drawings.<\/p>\n
Without really looking for his\u2014because during lessons my little one usually takes an honorable \u201cOBSERVER, not participant POSITION\u201d\u2014I open my eyes wide: every child has one drawing displayed, but MYKOLAS has TWO DRAWINGS.<\/p>\n
While standing there, I hear the Teacher\u2019s voice:<\/p>\n
\u201cToday in art class we talked about the people we love the most,\u201d she explains,
\nand discussed with the children what could be the best gift for someone. We decided that a hand-drawn card for the one you love is the most beautiful gift you can give.
\nMykolas listened attentively.<\/p>\n
And when it came time to draw, he joined the lesson for the first time.<\/p>\n
He grabbed a pencil and TWO PIECES OF PAPER.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I asked if he wanted to draw two cards,\u201d continued the Teacher, \u201cMykolas very seriously replied:<\/p>\n
\u2018YES, for my sister PA and my brother DO.\u2019\u201d
\nAuthor\u2019s note: for sister Patricija and brother Dominykas.
\nListening, I felt a dam of tears building in my eyes.<\/p>\n
Maybe because of the sensitive weeks.
\nMaybe because of fragile nerves.
\nMaybe because of everything together.<\/p>\n
But the fact that, for a child who has no one else, his sister and brother are the most precious things he has\u2014it touched me deeply.<\/p>\n
Heaven knows, this time neither I nor Daddy were among the chosen recipients.<\/p>\n
For them.<\/p>\n
So small. And so sweet.<\/p>\n
