Valentine Friend Love

Grace celebrated Valentine's Day with her 3rd grade class, with, of course, a classroom party. They made ice cream sundaes. I took a stab at 30 grams of carbs and actually did pretty well. She came home with a giant bag, filled with cards and carbs :0)

The best part, that part that made my heart melt, is when she showed me this:

Russell Stover Sugar-Free Marshmallow Heart
and a little bag with a 'Grace' sticker on it

One of her friends in class gave everyone in the class a Russell Stover Marshmallow Heart. But when she came to Grace, she handed Grace this heart bag, with a sticker with her name on it. Inside was a Russell Stover Sugar-Free Marshmallow Heart.

Grace smiled.
"C was thinking of me. She got this heart just for me. I mean, I can have the regular hearts Mom, right? But I mean, I think I like it better cause she was thinking of me and my diabetes when she bought it and wrapped it for me. That's why I like it better."

Yes Grace, you can have the regular marshmallow hearts, but somehow, this sugar-free one shows that your friends do care about you, think about you and love you Grace. It brought me to tears that you have good friends like this, even in 3rd grade.

What a lovely Valentine gift.
