My Godson and Me!

My nephew, C, is by far the most amazing boy I know in the world.  He and i have some sort of a kismet soul connection, and i adore spending any minute that i can with him.  Since we moved away (nearly 8 years ago now), i have missed spending time with him immensely.  Tonight, i shared an amazing adventure with him.
His birthday is in two weeks, the last in the long run of family dates for a while!  Since we won't be in town for his birthday, i wanted to do something special for his big 11th day (in the 11th month of the 11th year, no less!)  He had told me that he was saving up money for a customized baseball cap, so today, when he got home from school, i seized the opportunity to spend some time with him, and to get him a great birthday gift!  I surprised him with a trip to the mall (just he and i- something that NEVER happens!) and we went to the hat store.  After about 45 minutes, he settled on the perfect design on the perfect cap!  We thought we'd have to wait about an hour, but the man told us it probably wouldn't be ready until tomorrow due to the complexity of his design... we left only slightly deflated, because i really wanted to be with him to pick it up and see the finished product.  
We proceeded to my dad's, where we had a wonderful good-bye dinner.  just before leaving to head back to my nephew's house, we decided to call the hat store to see if maybe, by chance, the hat was done.  The man told me to give him 20 minutes and he'd call me back if he could do it; the store was closing in 45.
Twenty minutes later on the dot, the phone rang.  He said, "Come pick up your hat!  It's done!"  
We drove over with my sister, so excited to see it!  My nephew proudly received his custom designed cap and beamed all the way back to show it off to the whole family!  He asked my sister if he could wear it to bed!  
I love to see him happy!  I love to see him any way!  This was the perfect end to the perfect weekend!  I will smile every time i picture C in his new cap, beaming his proud smile, and knowing that i was a part of it!
