A friend gave me an invaluable gift….

An oil painting (right) of my youngest son and me…………..

Here I was closing my classroom for the day and getting ready to gather my children and walk home — and a mother of a lower school boy, Audrey Krause, comes up to me and places this beautiful painting in my hands.

Nathanael — almost 4 years old — so safe; his head on my shoulder.

I am a truly blessed man.
