The Best Son

My son Jason turned 21 yesterday! He had a wonderful day and dinner with family and friends. He's a great young man. I read a post today from a friend regarding his son; he says: (my son) "is the best son a father could ask for". I would have to disagree, since I believe that Jason is the best son a father could ask for. The problem with that is that Jason's father has not been a part of his life for 10 years. No contact. Nothing. I think back on the last 10 years of my son's life. He's faced the loss of his favorite (and basically only) grandparents, his dog (to disease), a couple of his friends (to drugs/alcohol); graduated from High School AND Harkness; stayed true to his faith; secured employment where his boss (Chef Warren) really likes him (and I know that because I've spoken to his boss); and become even more kind and caring and loving than he was as a little boy. How sad that his father doesn't know that Jason is the best son he could ask for. But I know one thing for sure: Jason is the best son that a mother could ask for. I'm so blessed to know that.
