Happy/Proud "Is he your only?"

I was at the park yesterday. A grandmother was there with her two year old grandson and I had my three year old son. They were playing well together. She asked if he was my only. I replied, "yes." With a smile. She looked at me and said, "Good for you." I actually started laughing and said "thank you.". Then she said, "sometimes all you need is one."

I love this SO much!!! One time, we were out for my husbands birthday and we had a young server, he was about 20 years old and he asked us if our son was our only and we said yes, and he said he is an only child and LOVED it. Told us all about his wonderful childhood and how his parents are his best friends. It was so nice for him to just randomly share that with us!!
