My son's Thanksgiving blog post

[bronxmom2]

This is a brag, I have to tell someone about this. My 9yo PANDAS's teacher set up a blog to draw out reluctant writers, and this is what my son posted under the "What Thanksgiving means to me" theme:

 

Our ravaging of Indians for land was inexcusable and for all Indians that died in the plains wars, I say rest in peace forever,

and I, and all others that hold all-and I say all-lives dearest to

us, from the tinniest ants, to the biggest elephant, every creature,

hailing from land or sea, air and space, salute to those that do not have those lives, and be thankful that we have them, in the wake of others that do not.

 

The true meaning of thanksgiving is the great feast that took place in the “new land” new as it was to europeans, was not

to the people who are native to this land.

 

What a beautiful child. I am an atheist but god bless. I believe our kids will all get better.

This is eloquently written. You should be very proud.

What a wonderful post, and what compassion! Amazing that he has such expression at that age. Do you think that our kids will be more sensitive to suffering of others once they get through this?

Simply beautiful!!! Your son is a wonderful kid.

 

YES. I think our kinds are more sensitive to many things. In my son's case he loves to read and writing. He wrote a book recently and he has notes for two of three more books.

I posted this because my son has not written ANYTHING for several years... now that he has started writing, this is what comes out. Astounding.

If you could have seen how limited his writing was before... well, I'm sure most of you know about that.
