Jacob is a boy that rides the bus to school with Conrad. From the minute he sees me walking down the driveway with Mr. Conrad he is trying to get my attention. He loves to make hand signals. Anything from the peace sign to hang loose is great with him. And he loves it when you copy him or give him a new one to try. A few weeks ago I showed him the Vlucan (from Star Trek-are you impressed that I know this?!), 'live long and prosper' sign the other day. He loved it. He couldn't do it back but was intent on trying. He is still working on it.
On Friday he put his hand up to the window in a goodbye gesture. I touched the window and said goodbye.
As I stepped away from the window I saw one more hand waiting to say goodbye. It was Connie. He was looking and waiting for my hand to touch the glass of the window. As I touched the glass he smiled as if to say, "I can do it too, just thought you should know".
I know. Thank you.
