sweet friendship

this is michael ... and ben ;)



michael and ben are great friends.
they are SO similar!
they are both fearless
they are both very active
and
they both LOVE sports

michael and ben were in 1st grade together
THEN
we got moved to a new school
BUT
that hasn't stopped them from being friends

they still see each other often
and
have a lot of fun when they're together

no matter what sport we are playing -
we end up playing against michael.
this basketball season ...
we played his team 3 times -
with the final game
being in the tournament.
we won.
BUT
being the great friend that he is ...
michael, and his wonderful grandma,
still showed up to the final game - to cheer ben on.



michael ...
thanks for being a good friend to ben
and paula ...
thanks for all you've done in showing michael how to be a good friend
and
for all you've done for ben

our lives are much sweeter with you in them
