I sort of think that H is having that realization with S. He is supportive of him driving and what not but I know that he gets shocked sometimes that he is really old enough to be doing that. I think he still sees the preteen that he remembers most of the time.
Your description intrigues me. As I do things around here, and come back to myself more, I see exactly what you described in him. I see him feeling like an outsider but unsure of how to become a part of it again. I guess if he really wants it, he will find a way. They all will, or they won't. But we are good anyway. Smiles my friend, have a great day.
If I don't post for a few days, worry that S drove us into a ditch. LOL
