A bracelet from a best friend

Yesterday while I was working at Glenridge for a while I was sitting at the table where kids sit and make bracelets. It was a popular table for a while, mostly girls, busily making bracelets for themselves, their friends, their families.

Amos came over and sat down and started making a bracelet. Then he asked me what Jack's favorite color was. Red. Amos started a string of all read beads and butterflies. This is for Jack.

He finished it, I tied it off and Amos went and gave it to Jack. Through the rest of the afternoon at Glenridge (and all night) Jack wore the bracelet and would every now and again finger it and look at it.

When we got home and were getting Jack ready for bed, he put the bracelet in the very special things shelf that's right behind his bed that has all the little treasures he keeps over here. I remembered that we had the makings for a sports bracelet that Jack had brought over some months back. Jack and I talked about it and Jack described how he wanted to make it for Amos and how he wanted to bring it to Glenridge and leave it in Amos' cubby with a note.

We were talking about Amos being a friend of Jack's and Jack said, "He's my friend, he's my best friend!"
