Experiencing Interruptions?

Gift of Understanding

A father, returning from an overnight shift, sees his son, TJ, off to school. TJ reveals his artwork for "Friendship Friday," made for a girl he likes, Megan. TJ hopes Megan will reciprocate his feelings, but when he returns home with gifts from others but none from Megan, his father offers a tender lesson: not everyone you care for will feel the same. TJ learns the bittersweet truth about friendship and the importance of resilience.
