an old camp friend visited a few weeks ago. well, he's not old, but our friendship is old. :) or maybe long-standing sounds better. tried and true. comfortable. cherished. we have been friends forever (since we were around 13, we figure...) and the friendship was solidified every year at youth retreats and summer camp. such fun times!!! it was an absolute joy to revisit old memories, make new memories, and just connect with him and his sweet wife and family over a couple of days, together with another dear family of long-time friends. the older i get, the more this sort of stuff means to me.
one of the highlights for me, on many different levels, was watching C. give Hudson a haircut. out of the blue he offered to cut Hudson's hair, and Hudson of course jumped at the idea. what started as a very handsome fade, turned into more of a faux-hawk that Hudson had requested. either way, it was very special and so much more than a haircut...
thanks C. for sharing a bit of yourself with our dear son. he loved it~ as much as he loves his new haircut. your hair skills are solid :), your kindness is genuine, your presence was meaningful. thanks, my friend!
