Always thinking about Aiden

When Aiden was in preschool, he had lots of friends (and a couple of frenemies) but one of the boys we heard about a lot, was, let's say, Mario.  Mario didn't speak much English, but boys have a common language that does not require words, and so they were able to play and develop a friendship.  I had his big sister  in my class when things went to hell in their family.  Drugs, money, guns...you know how it is...We got involved with trying to help the mom and kids and when Mario was in second grade he was in Scott's class.  I knew that the baby in the family was named Aiden, but what I just found out was that Mario's mother told him he could name the baby and so named him Aiden, after his good friend at school. I love that our Aiden will be remembered in that family for all of little Aiden's life.
