Who knew a old knock off pair of sneakers could bring so much joy to a little boy. They wouldn't I'm sure of it, if it weren't for the fact that these shoes look similar to a pair my brother wear. My son enjoys his uncle so much and this past year has gotten to spend more time with him. Of course the natural tendency for any child who admires someone is to want to be like them in any way they can and that is what these old, red, knock off sneakers represent for my son.
i'm not going to lie, this made me tear up a little bit. i never ever ever though i would ever be someone to be looked up to. it really makes me pause and consider the weight of my actions.
