mom notices little son is losing weight she secretly follows him to his school cafeteria and appearances can be deceiving frequently many of us are swayed by our preconceptions and act hastily unfairly and even cruy towards individuals who have committed no wrong and all they require is our assistance someone who will lend a compassionate ear without passing judgment someone who can be relied upon nonetheless maintaining a listening and empathetic stance can prove challenging when our sons welfare is on the line Amber Franklin was 44 years old an economist and the single mother of a 10-year-old boy named Johnny Amber's husband's name was Arthur and he was an electrician his job was maintaining and installing electrical wiring for businesses and individuals unfortunately during one of these installations There Was An Unexpected power surge and Arthur was electrocuted while handling the wires he died instantly when her husband died Amber was pregnant with a couple's only child and and was devastated there were times when she even considered giving her child up for adoption and she did not feel capable of being a good mother since her husband was no longer by her side fortunately Mrs Franklin was not alone and her family and friends helped her to overcome the pain of losing her husband at her own pace and at the same time be a good mother and it certainly was eventually Amber accepted the fact that she would have to learn to get on with her life and that her son needed her more than anyone else in the world she became a model mother to Little Johnny and managed to be happy again despite still having the memory of her late husband very present you're the spitting image of your father honey I wish you could have met him because you would realize how much you look like him you have his look in your eyes you know those tender Blue Eyes in which I could get lost she would say on numerous occasions to her son indeed Little Johnny was looking more and more like his father and everyone kept reminding him of it and dad was very smart did he get good grades in school the little boy asked once C serous of course he did he was really smart he could have dedicated himself to anything he wanted however your father was clear that he wanted to continue with the family business and that he would be an electrician a job that always made him immensely happy for me knowing that was more than enough why do you ask honey amber didn't quite see her son's intentions with that question Johnny was a good student in fact he had never failed an exam he loved to read and he was also a good Sportsman so he had nothing to worry about in that aspect simple curiosity I want you to be proud of me I want you both to be proud of me it's very important to me I don't want to disappoint you mommy he said turly as he finished packing his backpack and took a last bite of his Jam toast Bye Mom see you in the afternoon have a nice day he kissed her goodbye on the cheek and ran off towards the school bus that had just arrived Amber stared at her son as he got on the bus and sat in his seat Johnny was already 10 years old and she couldn't be more proud of the person he was becoming he was a really responsible boy cheerful and kind to everyone he had never gotten into trouble she knew for a fact that her son hated fighting and she had never heard him raise his voice even when he got angry he never did Johnny was very docile and loved to help others something he had certainly inherited from his father however she also feared that the kindness and innocence that made her son so special was at the same time a disadvantage as it was very easy for other less docile people to take advantage of him the thought of that often made her act overprotective of her son and even though Amber knew for a fact that this was not right she couldn't help it I think you're too protective of him and Johnny has given you no reason to be he's a smart kid he'll know what to do if someone tries to take advantage of him or trick him try to relax Amber her mother repeated every time her daughter talked about her fear of someone hurting her son I'm trying mom but it's not easy he's my little boy and if something happened to him I wouldn't know what to do confessed Mrs Franklin with sadness it's never easy I'm your mother and I'm still suffering for you but we have to learn to trust and let our children make their own mistakes honey trust me I'll try Mom I promise Amber said ending the discussion although deep inside she knew how hard it would be for her to keep her promise what she didn't know was that just a few months after this conversation the promise she had just made to her mother would no longer have any validity it all happened during an ordinary day Amber had returned home after lunch and was waiting for her son to come home from school the boy was usually very punctual so when it was 4:00 in the afternoon and Johnny didn't show up Mrs Franklin became impatient the mother was about to call the school to find out what was going on when suddenly the front door opened and her son announced his arrival I'm here sorry I'm late Mom I had to stay to finish a science project with a classmate from school apologized the boy with a tender smile Amber couldn't be mad at him and greeted him with a warm smile smile and a big hug however as she served her son his snack a delicious peanut butter sandwich Amber noticed that Johnny was not as cheerful as usual in fact the boy looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes and a pale face she decided not to make a big deal of it and figured Johnny had just had another long day at school her son was a good student but he often worked harder than usual to get the best grades however the mother's worst fears were Unleashed when she saw Johnny take off his school shirt and realized how thin he suddenly looked looked Johnny you've lost a lot of weight Amber was horrified honey you eat well at home how come you're suddenly so thin the boy became very nervous and Amber could see how worried he was Johnny is something bothering you honey she asked him in distress a few seconds later however Johnny seemed to pull himself together and replied I'm fine mom he said without making eye contact with his mother I don't know why I'm losing weight but I'm fine I promise however Amber knew there was something he was keeping from her and asked him one one more time Johnny honey if there's anything she told him softly you can tell me I'm afraid you're not eating well at school no no not at all I eat well at school mom Johnny quickly replied but seeing his hurried response Amber knew something was wrong well then tell me how was the chicken parmesan I made for you lunch today did you like the sauce she asked delicious mom you know I love everything you make you're a great cook Johnny exclaimed but his answer added to Amber's concern Amber hadn't cooked any chicken parmesan that day her son was lying to her face and she had to find out quickly why Johnny she snapped at him grabbing him by the shoulders no chicken parmesan today just cheese sandwiches and mashed potatoes I forgot mom said Johnny you often put chicken on me for lunch I was confused I love sandwiches but seeing how Johnny dodged her questions Amber decided to settle the conversation and find out for herself what was going on at school and why her son seemed hungry the next day amber drove to Johnny's school during lunch and secretly observed him him sitting alone at the cafeteria table staring into his lunchbox moments later she witnessed the unthinkable Mr Miller Johnny's new physical education teacher approached him and took his lunch her son said nothing to her didn't even protest when the man took his food out of his hands Amber could no longer watch and do nothing she got up and stormed to the principal's office to report the matter what is going on here I saw the new PE teacher Mr Miller taking my son's lunch Amber was very Furious does he do this every day is this why my son has been losing weight Amber had burst into the principal's office not even knocking on the door to check that the principal was inside the director looked at her with wide eyes not understanding anything that was happening Mrs Franklin that is appalling I sincerely apologize for what happened I had no idea he said to Amber as he immediately called Mr Miller and Johnny into his office over the PA system when Johnny walked into the office he was quite dumbfounded to see his mother there Mom what are you doing here the boy exclaimed trying trying to remain calm Johnny your mother told me she saw Mr Miller taking your lunch can you tell us what's going on the principal interjected realizing he had been caught Johnny decided to come clean before speaking the boy looked one last time at his teacher and the teacher nodded slightly the small gesture of complicity made Mrs Amber have even more questions and her nervousness increased by the second mom I want you to know that Mr Miller is not to blame for anything it was all my idea he didn't even want to tell me what was going on and I was the one who insisted on helping him okay Johnny began a calm tone okay but you still haven't told us what is wrong with Mr Miller and why the only solution to his problem is for you to stop eating will you explain it to us please Mrs Franklin was trying to be common understanding but her son was making it very difficult for her Johnny explained that one afternoon after basketball practice he decided to stay an extra hour to practice alone and improve his shooting Mr Miller who is also the High School boys basketball coach told him it would be fine and to let him know before he went home to lock up the gym however as Johnny was on his way to his office to tell him he was going home he heard someone crying while he was on the phone it was Mr Miller the boy knew it wasn't right to listen in on private conversations behind doors but he couldn't help himself and wanted to know what was wrong with his coach however the 10-year-old was not prepared to find out the sad truth that his teacher was hiding Mr Miller has a 5-year-old son his name is Zach and 3 months ago he was diagnosed with Childhood Cancer Miller is a single father and on his teacher salary it is impossible for him to afford the medical bills for his son's treatment he barely has enough money to buy food or pay the rest of the household bills which is why he was crying that afternoon at the gym they had just called him to tell him that if he didn't pay what he owed they would soon be homeless that's why I offered to help him by giving him my food so he could give it to Zach I didn't want that little boy to go hungry Johnny continued explaining very touched you could see that he was very affected by what was happening to his teacher and at the same time ashamed for having had to lie to his mother that's enough Johnny calm down I don't need to hear anymore I think it has been made clear to all of us what has happened intervened the director when he saw that Mr Miller was more and more affected and that the boy was having a really hard time explaining the story Mr director is right dear that's enough it's all been a terrible misunderstanding now what we have to do is find a solution for Mr Miller preferably one where no one has to go hungry and that allows him to move on and take care of his son what do you think suggested Mrs Amber I will be eternally grateful to you I tell you from my heart said Mr Miller trying to stop crying after confession Amber Franklin and the principal decided to organize a fundraiser to help the teacher and his son which turned out to be a huge success thanks to the contribution of all the teachers at the school and numerous parents the money raised enabled him to pay for his son's entire treatment and to leave nothing to chance Mr Miller had never had to worry about paying the bills again and Mrs Amber began to trust her little Johnny Moore the little boy who has once again shown us that life with a little more generosity and empathy can be
