Walking with My Son
I was walking with the Kid beside me, and I glanced at how tall he has become. He is in the bloom of manhood, and although he is still a tad shorter than me and lacks my upper body strength, the day will come very soon when he will best me in both height and physical power. The thought led to an unusual feeling, one that I had never felt before.
I felt less alone and even protected somewhat, as if someone I trusted “had my back.”
It was a remarkable feeling and one that I’m still carrying tonight.
