Two Little Boys Named Chris
I’d like to share a short story from the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Moms & Sons. It’s a very simple story and yet it has a very beautiful message. I Hope you’ll like it.
Two Little Boys Named Chris
by Delores Lacy
(from a 6th Bowl of Chicken Soup of the Soul)
When my firstborn child, Christian (Chris), was a little over three years old, he was diagnosed with cancer.
After two to three years of treatment and several surgeries, it became apparent that his learning abilities had degenerated. With the help of Cancer Institute personnel, we were able to get Chris into a special-education class in a local school.
His teacher soon realized there was a problem in identifying two little boys in the class named Chris. Every time she called the name Chris, both boys answered.
So she decided to ask each one what his mother called him at home. The other boy answered, “Chris,” and my son answered, “Sweetheart.”
