Teach them Well

Kamryn

and his new Teacher

Ms. Hong

on Kam's 10th Birthday

OHHH what a 10th birthin day it was,

as Kamryn had a great surprise party celebrated

with his classmates!

Seems cuzzie and COB had planned a secret party along with Kam's BFF (JW) whose MOM was also there to set up the classroom while all the kids were at lunch!

Juice, napkins and plates were on each seat

and

then

Ms Hong (who was in on the plan)

had Kamryn be in the "back of the line"

yep, students line up and walk in a line from the cafeteria to their classes in Southwest VA!

As Cuzzie, Mom/COB, Jeneanne stood in wait

over a magnificent

cake

that was trimmed in red with white icing

with a "football on one side

and

basketball on the other"

saying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUMPMAN KAMRYN

the children quietly and in single file returned to their seats,

and

Kamryn was the last to enter the room with

his

new and much loved teacher

Ms. HONG.

I am told the

"look on his face was that of shock"

but

his grin and great way of maintaining

his "cool" was just a sight to behold

and

his classmates sang to him

but

then really enjoyed

THE CAKE!

A grand time was had by all

and

another fantastic memory etched into

his heart and his brain!

“Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky!”

Dr. Seuss

Oh what a happy day,

only be topped by the thoughts that all are safe after the Earthquake of VA and all the states of the East.

The National Cathedral has been affected in its most beautiful structure, along with the beloved

Washington Monument.

I'm sure others will soon notice that other damages have been assessed as well.

BUT lives are intact, and for that,

we give great thanks.

Now as the Outer Banks prepares to evacuate

and the Hurricane named after one of

our warriors here

is gaining strength and moving toward NC

we hold them in thoughts and prayers

hoping that all are "high tailing it"

and

getting out of the path.

The ocean is churning up

and the winds are getting fierce I am told

and

it is but Wednesday.

Prayers being sent to all that need them for the strength to put their bodies into motion and do what is needed.

Kamryn left school and hit the football field

with

determination, fun and focus

only to finally get home last night

and

finally call

me.

It was time for his

birthday present from the Godmother and DLB.

This gift has been in the planning for 3 years,

and

waiting until

he hit 10 to present to him!

So as his Mom had her camera ever ready,

he (being a kid of very few words by phone)

says,

"hey puddy pal hey Bun"

as

we sang once again to him!

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living." — Dr. Seuss

So I ask my little 10 year old Godson,

"Kamryn, can you listen now?"

and

he WAS LISTENING!

gREAT photo of "listening"

as

then Kamryn was told of his

birthday gift,

our pride of him

the importance of his 10th birthday.

that this gift has been in the planning for 3 years,

waiting for this special year,

and

the pride of his achievement of

HONOR ROLL

of his respectful ways

in

"feeding the right wolf"

and

then

he was told:

Next year baby,

you and me are going

to California together

where

YOU

will hit the courts for

MICHAEL JORDON BASKETBALL CAMP

and

MEET

#23

MICHAEL JORDON

face to face

"happy birthday jumpman Kam"

I am grateful to cuzzie,

cos

the phone went silent

and

now I know why!

Kamryn was

SPEECHLESS.

Yep>>>>>>>>>^^^^^^^^^ YOU, are going to travel across the United States more than 3,000 miles; eat, sleep drink baskeball at the
MICHAEL JORDON FLIGHT SCHOOL ...

(are u there kam)? LOL

"uh, puddy  pal thank u and thank u bunny... thank u very very very much"

.... silence ....

Kam not jumping around, not hollering, and not just out of his mind here?

uh oh....

That boy is in shock!

 “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

Dr Seuss

Michael Jordon has been Kamryn's hero since he has been 2 years old...

Notice he is wearing a

Jordon T Shirt?

how funny is that?

and

now

he is quiet?

Jumpman Kamryn

is going to meet his hero!

i swear it looks as though he is LOOKING at me eye to eye there! And how is it he has grown in just two months?

Oh I am so thrilled this was caught on camera...

It captures each sentence,

each emotion

and

whew, it finally allowed me to know

he had not fainted nor was his airway blocked!

Next year

Kamryn will be sitting there

MJ will be standing there

and

oh lawd, I hope he won't fall out

in his absolute overwhelming

excitement!

We hung up, and DLB and I sat staring at each other for the longest of times... wondering if Kam was alright... wondering if this was indeed the right thing we were doing based on the reaction and the quiet....
Then the texts started coming in from cuzzie...
and then the photos arrived!

She let us know that he was going to raise his hand for EVERYTHING, he was now going to practice, he was "over the top excited", he was......

this morning I am told, Kamryn dreamed of Michael Jordon all night... He was "right there" and he is hitting that "honor roll" this year, and he is "one over the moon " kid today!!!

Now isn't that a wonderful thing? What great memories and lives and moments... thankfully caught on camera, as from a distance I had no idea that he was still breathing! LOL, I was insisting that cuzzie still take his pulse<>

I'm figuring

I'll be clicking my toes together

in my

"tight Michael Jordon Hand me UPS"

that Kamryn gave me

this time next year

with swagga on

as me n Puddy Pal hit the courts in Calif.

to see the real deal #23

(right before they usher me out)

for Kamryn to have the time of his life

on the courts!

"I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come." Michael Jordan

Me n Jordon think a lot alike on many things;

he just is taller with a much leaner body!

Now i have this remarkable desire

to watch

SPACE JAM

for the umpteenth time

but

oh that's right

that little boy above took my copy home with him!

OHHH noooo

I will have to go out now and try to find another!

Let's hope the mood passes

and

I'll just wait for his next visit

and

we can watch it together again!

So Kamryn,

sure hope you will be shooting the hoops

100 free throws, 100 lay ups and dont' forget to work those "threes"

(wink)

We goin to California to see MJ...

OMG

Kamryn on a plane for that many hours?

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz and EAT

He is very very funny,

but

I sure would like to be a fly on the wall at school

and

football practice today!

So 

there you go... and here we are,

another thing for you to take in for this day

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Michael Jordan

With an attitude of great gratitude

I say

thank you to all of you

and

to #23~! 

thanks for all the many birthday wishes friends;
for Sandy, "sign me A", and for Kamryn...

So for today:  may the inspiration of making dreams come true, sit with you; may you have the courage to work your dreams, to honor your self with all that you are knowing you have all you need to do more and to give more... for it is in the giving that we receive so very much....

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing today,
I wish you enough!

for those in the Path of the hurricaine, please get off your butts and on your feet, in your cars and head WEST... take best care and stay safe, may you be safe and from harms way.
Blessings for those who are walking a difficult road today, we are thinking of you.

I hope you have time to flip back to yesterday, take a listen to the music, read what our wonderful warriors wrote, and see where sisssy "Kelly TwoWolves left Kamryn a mesage, and a link for his birthday song".. Copy and paste that link into your browser to hear it, and turn up the volume on both!

YOU will enjoy...
