Wesley has a buddy at church, Mr. Gene. I don't know exactly what it is that's made Mr. Gene take up with Wesley in particular but they have a special bond.
Mr. Gene also works part-time at our grocery store. He's one of those active retired fellows who just couldn't stand sitting at home all day so he went out and got a job "just for fun". And since we seem to be either at the church or the grocery almost every day, we see a lot of Mr. Gene.
A week or two ago, Mr. Gene told us on Sunday morning that he had a gift for Wesley. A little while later I stopped by Wesley's Sunday School room to check that he'd made it to class and he excitedly showed me the coolest airplane...a gift from Mr. Gene!
The plane has a propeller that winds up with a rubber band. It won't actually fly but it will move along the floor a bit.
The little details are amazing! And the plane is lovingly handmade.
Wesley just adores it!
But I think more than anything he loves knowing that he is someone's someone special.
