A Good Heart

We decided to take an evening stroll tonight as a family. Troy had been cooped up inside all day, so we thought it would be good for him to get out and run around. My wife likes to take the stroller with us just in case the munchkin wears himself out and wants to ride the rest of the way home. Besides, it’s also a great way to carry water, snacks, blankets, extra clothes, etc.

On the way home tonight, my wife was falling behind Troy and I as we made a furious dash down the sidewalk. Troy kept stopping to wait for her, looking back to make sure she was okay and still following. When she’d get close, he’d take off in a sprint again. At some point, he must have decided that my wife was getting tired, so he went between her and the stroller and started pushing it for her. He took her burdens on himself, so that she could rest. It was so beautiful. He’s such a sweet boy with such a good heart.
