A boy called Daniel found out his two best friends were both going on the same holiday together — without him. They weren't being mean; their families had just planned it. When they told him, they were buzzing with excitement, talking about everything they'd do. Daniel smiled and said it sounded amazing. And he meant it — he wanted them to have a great time. But there was also a lump in his throat and a heavy feeling of being left behind, sitting right alongside being glad for them. Both feelings, at once.
