Usually, when the phone rings and I don't recognize the number, it's a telemarketer or a wrong number. This afternoon, it was neither.
A mother called to tell me thank you. Heathen #1 helped her son last night at the ski slopes. He was badly hurt skiing and Heathen #1 was the first one there. He held C-spine and sent two other boys for the ski patrol. Apparently, he calmed the boy down and talked to him until patrol got to him.
Her son was transported by ambulance. Turns out he has quite a concussion on top of his other injuries. She just wanted to say thank you.
It is so rare that someone goes out of their way to tell you something good about your kids. Especially at the age Heathen #1 is now. When I told him about the phone call, he just smiled - and then asked if he could go out and play in the snow.
