Brush With Greatness!

Much as I love Kurt, I love Chris exponentially more. Seriously, what a remarkable guy. And his tweets are epic! Well, I got the shock of my (obviously somewhat boring) life the other night when he actually responded to my inquiry about his growth spurt.

Needless to say, there was shrieking. Followed by a pervasive numbness in my extremities. Aaaaand maybe some hyperventilation. No worries though...I'm good now! I actually printed out a screen shot of his twitter page while that comment was still at the top. Is that weird? Not sure what I'll do with it, though. Frame it? Make it into a t-shirt transfer?

I am just beyond thrilled that he answered! I always love reading his tweets and the priceless things he says to his fans and in general. Based on interviews and the accounts of others, he seems like such a wise, lovely young man. As a mom to two young boys who are, for all intents and purposes, social llamas, I have the deepest respect for Chris. Growing up at the bottom of the heap is rough! To see him come out of difficult circumstances as a well-adjusted, kind, clever person gives me hope that my own sons will get past the challenges they are now facing. And, of course, he gives my boys hope that someday the attributes that cause them so much grief now will ultimately become the gifts that set them apart from the masses. So thank you, Chris, not only for making my day but for touching my life as well. Love you, Sweetie! Or as Chris would say, "Sweatie"...
