Oh man...this one hurts a little bit more. There are certain ages I am finding that I can handle more than others, but 15, hits a little different. It's just really close to other milestones that I just can't believe are that close. Kaj is such a great kid, I can't even begin to say the kind of impressive person he has become...but really...he has always been. Kaj has this amazingly contagious laugh, and this great sense of humor. Kaj is a good friend, and very loyal to his friends and his family. Kaj is so good to me. He has always been that way. He has noticed when I have been sad, he has helped immensely on days I have needed help- whether it's cleaning things up around the house or helping with the kids by being a good example. Kaj has friends that he really enjoys now. I can't think of anyone more deserving than to have friends like that. He waited patiently for this. I am so happy for him. He has taken a Leadership class in school this past year (a class I would never have considered) and that is truly one of his gifts. He is the friend who gathers people together, and thinks of the ideas. He has really come into the music he creates, and though I could never understand quite how he does it, it is becoming a craft that I am quite taken with. He is able to take suggestions with ease and grace, He is the guy that is reliable, and a great conversationalist even with adults.
He went to a couple of dances this year. One that was by the stake and the other for school. Tommy J is the stake Young Men so that night I got a text from Abby that Kaj was dancing with a girl! So, when I talked to Kaj about it when he got home I was playing it pretty cool, but I did already know. He told me, yes, he did ask one girl to dance. She was from Sisters. I asked him, "so, was she making eyes at you or something?" And he said, "No. She was just standing my herself" 🥹 My boy. He proceeded to tell me how they talked easily, and I know it is because of him, because he has great questions, and listens quite genuinely. I ugly cried to him on his birthday on the way to school.
