As parents, we are often blessed with simple moments where we can sit back and watch with pride the people our children are becoming. Such was the case Saturday for Jennifer Lunsford.
She and her 10-year-old son, Forrester, were in Clarkesville when a storm blew through the city square. The wind gust blew one of the outside trash cans into a parked car, so, when it was safe, Forrester – a 4th grader from Fairview Elementary School – went out into the rain and picked it up.
“When he saw the storm come through and noticed the trash cans his initial reaction was to help his community,” says Jennifer.
She describes her son as “very giving” and a “forward thinker” who has a heart for others and community. Lunsford captured that spirit in the photo she snapped of her son doing his good deed.
“When the storm passed he went to pick up other trash cans,” she says. “I am so proud of Forrester. He always has others’ best interest at heart and this moment made me feel extra special to be his mom and confirmed again how special this kid is.”
