To see your son, encourage him to be who he is and to celebrate all that he is without any projections of what "should" be.<br /><br />That is unconditional love at its finest.<br /><br />Your son sounds simply amazing.

Your tributes to your children are when you are at your best. And this is amazing and poignant and so full of love it takes my breath away. <br /><br />Thank you for the beautiful Christmas card. Your boys are so handsome. If only we lived closer, I have 3 fabulous, beautiful girls in mind for them. Wouldn't that be just the absolute best? My cards are still in their box due to the major global shift our lives have taken over the past few weeks. Maybe Valentine's Day. <br /><br />And speaking of . . . my mother-in-law is knocking on my bedroom door. She can only last a few minutes without me.
