Seeing the Everyday in Twenty Thirteen

Seeing the Everyday in Twenty Thirteen
Our lives are the sum of each moment and interaction. Each day we work, eat, laugh, teach, play, read, remember...and work at it all again the next day. Within seemingly small exchanges we find opportunity to build relationships, develop character, find joy for the price of our time. Life's most essential possibilities are realized at home. Where we share, teach, grow, learn, serve, give our best without praise or fanfare. Because every effort, every moment matters in the development of a person. Nothing is really routine. I give myself for the good of my family and find the poetry within life's daily prose by Seeing the Everyday.

Sean

Friday, January 16, 2009

Our good friend Sean moved to Florida today. This was Brinkley's best friend since she has been here in UT. Actually, these two really care for each other. We love Sean. He is one of the best young men I have ever known. Sean came over on Wednesday and we took him to dinner, along with our other friend Trevor, who has been very close to Sean for a long time.
Brinkley, Sean and Trevor are inseperable. They have been great friends this school year. When the night came to an end and Trevor had to go home and Sean had to leave, the tears were pouring at the Lester home. Trevor and Sean cried. Then Sean and Brinkley cried. Then Sean hugged me and I cried. Sean was trembling. It was so sad to see these young people hurting. Sean is one of those types of people that touch your heart and makes a lasting impression. He is a great friend. He is a strong and valiant young man. He is great with kids and my boys love him. Brady thinks he's the greatest guy. He's a gentleman. He comes from a great family with two older brothers and three older sisters.

On Thursday, Brinkley stayed home from school and went to Sean's house to help him and his mom clean the house. Sean's mom is a delight. She has a great sense of humor and you can read about her family at Music to my Ears.I was able to bring over lunch for them and also meet Sean's sister Lindsay, who has two adorable children, Bridger and Kennedy. Later Sean came back to our house and Trevor came over and then everyone just hung out. We enjoyed dinner together and a little fun out in the snow. I know it was hard for them to say goodbye again, but it wasn't as emotional. I kept saying let's have fun and be positive and we'll see each other again.

Yes, I sure hope we see Sean again and that he and Brinkley keep in touch. I would love Sean to always be apart of our family.
