There's a student that comes into the institute almost every day. He's so polite and I've gotten used to him being there. The other day he showed me a funny YouTube video. Yesterday, he came in to ask me a few questions about the upcoming luau and sat down for a minute.
We were talking about him attending a mission prep class and I asked when he was planning on going on his mission. He said, "Oh, I won't even be 18 until November." I said, "You're my son, Ian's age. He would've turned 18 last month."
To my surprise, he said, "You're Ian's Mom? I knew Ian. I was at scout camp when he got the "Cool Dude" award."
It's been a while since anyone referenced me as Ian's mom. I used to get it at school, stake activities, and just, all over town. It's a title I love. It felt really good to hear it again.
