Together Trevan and Evan; it's always better than heaven


This is the song these two boys sang all last weekend. "Together Trevan and Evan; it's always better than heaven." You know they are good friends when they felt this way despite Evan badly breaking his toe on Friday! My friend Nina and her husband had to take a quick trip back to Maryland last weekend for a funeral and I got to keep her kids for the short period but.... The first day wasn't half over before the call came from Evan's school saying he had dropped a rock on his foot and was in a lot of pain. I went over there 45% thinking the little guy was sad knowing his parents were so far away, 45% thinking he just wanted to get here faster so he could play with Trevan and the last 10% was thinking, "Gosh. I hope it's not bad." To sum up we spent the afternoon in the urgent care where he was xrayed and the Doctor there wouldn't even touch him. They wrapped it up in a cast and referred him to an orthopedic surgeon where he has since had surgery and pins etc. Needless to say I was 90% wrong and Trevan and Evan got to spend their weekend watching movies and playing video games but hey... even that is better than heaven for them. Evan was in a lot of pain that first night and Trev was such a good friend. He never left Evan's side. When someone would come near them he would shield Evan with his body to keep them from getting near his foot. When Evan would try to go anywhere Trevan was in front of him clearing the way. Trevan wouldn't even sleep in his own bed! It was a sweet thing to see. Neither of these boys are the biggest cuddlers but last Friday was a different story for them both. Anyone could see that they have a special little friendship going on. Let's hope it goes on and on and on....
