“Yes?”
“Do you think Dad would’ve been proud?”
I pulled into a safe parking space.
Then I turned toward him.
“Logan, your father would’ve told everyone in town what you did.”
He looked down.
I continued.
“He would’ve called his brother, his old friends, and every person he’d ever worked with.”
My voice began trembling.
“He would’ve been so proud of you that he wouldn’t have known what to do with himself.”
Logan smiled.
“And I feel exactly the same way.”
Over the following weeks, people around town began hearing about Logan’s actions.
His principal wanted to recognize him at a school assembly.
Logan was horrified.
“Mom, absolutely not!”
I laughed.
“It’s just a certificate.”
“In front of the whole school?”
“You’re allowed to be proud of yourself.”
He shook his head.
We eventually agreed on a small presentation in the principal’s office.
