I was at my sisters house earlier for lunch and was talking to her in the kitchen while she cooked. I was talking to her about the financial difficulties DP and I are having. I am very stressed about it and admit I had a little bit of a cry (needed a hug from my big sis).
Unbeknownst to me my 9 year old DNephew was listening from the other room, not playing on his DS like we thought.
When I went in there he said he wanted a 'talk' and told me he'd been saving his pocket money up and wanted me to have it.
I would never take his money, but his gesture had me welling up. Especially because his savings are for a skateboard that he's wanted desperately for months. What a lovely little man he is...
My DP tells me I go 'mushy' over the boy and that it's silly because he isn't my child (although we are very close) but I think I have good reason to, he is a star.
