[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 328005, member: 1233"] What an awesome post to read. What wonderful times to remember and cherish. No matter what comes next. Lavishing him with honest praise when he does things you like, or that are considerate or right or good is a great step. So often we (including I) get caught up in what is wrong that we forget to notice and appreciate what is right. The Christmas Lights drive is so special. He thought of you and REMEMBERED that you love it. Then he wanted to do it WITH you. How totally amazing! Mentoring the young man while his new boss mentors him is a great thing. Not just part of the cycle of life, a cycle of love also. If all this behavior ends a few days after Christmas, well, you can always look outside at that board, let the furkids out to potty, and remember. Hugs to you all. Dude really will be an excellent counselor when he is ready. IF he ever decides to get formal training in it, he will be great. Even if he doesn't, and he just does it like his boss helps him, well, he will still excel. [/QUOTE]
