Thank you for sharing, CBT. Funny thing is, I absolutely relate - old me would not have pulled this move without my W. No way. And if the three of us DID go I probably would not have been as engaged as I should have been. I am scared, but excited to spend this time with just the two of us. He has only seen the ocean once before and never with me. I feel as if I have come a long way as a father just in being able to do this. It goes way, way waaaaay beyond my paradigm - but I am discovering that S and I really enjoy each other. Sure, it's a little melancholy that it'll just be the two of us.....but that's just the way it is these days for me and S.
