Ethan & the Escalator
I took my little nephew to the mall on Friday to do our weekly mall walk. He's a nut about elevators and escalators, and the day is not complete unless we ride everyone of them at least twice! If one of the elevators or escalators is down, he worries until the next time we go and see that it is fixed. He also tells everyone that he sees which one is broken. On Friday we went in the JCPenney store only to find that the down escalator was broken and the maintenance men were working on it. Ethan was yelling down the escalator asking the men how long it was going to take to fix it because we needed to ride on it. One of the men told him to come down and see what they were doing. So off we ran to the elevator so Ethan could help! The man was so nice to him, explaining everything that they were doing and even gave him a wheel gear to take home! Ethan was just beside himself as the man explained what they were doing. We spent a good 20 minutes watching and learning about repairing the escalators! The rest of the day while we were there, my little buddy talked about it. We even had to go back and check on the men before we left the mall. I don't know if that man realized what an impact he made on Ethan but I know one little boy who was thrilled beyond belief! It made me think about how I used to dread outings like that because my legs would hurt so bad. Now all I can do is think about how grateful that I am that I can walk and run and sing with Ethan at the mall and not worry about bringing attention to myself, or needing to go home and take a pain pill afterwards! Nothing like a 4 year old yelling up at you on an escalator that he LOVES you! He may forget in time about how much fun we had together and there will come a day when he won't want to mall walk with me, but I will forever remember those special times that we shared. And I shall be grateful until the end of my life, that I finally had one! Thank you Ethan for sharing your joy of life with me!
Little grandsons( arnt they so sweat !!!!!!! )My grandsons are also so happy to have a healthy grandmother back. The youngest grandsons laugh because I can catch up with them now.
