Our Compassionate Kid

Rory was nominated by her teacher for an award at school that recognized students who demonstrated compassion.

This is what her teacher wrote about Rory in her nomination,

"Rory is a very compassionate stunt.  She always cares for the well being of others.  Rory smiles and gives hugs to others that are not feeling well.  She politely informs me if someone is not having a good day.  She takes out special time to make others feel special by making uplifting cards.  Rory displays what it means to be compassionate!"

I was so proud of my girl when she was surprised by this award!  I guess this was the blessing of Brendan bursting his ear drum and having to postpone the surgery, because I was able to be at the ceremony which is quite the big deal at her school.


She also has a pretty cool Aunt and Uncle who knew that the award ceremony was going to be on the same day as Brendan's surgery, and that Mom couldn't be in 2 places at once.  To make sure that Rory knew how proud everyone was of her they sent her flowers...she was beyond delighted!
