when I get a text message from my sons it's mostly something like
"What's for dinner?"
But not on that day. It was
"Can we talk about my future?"
A cosmic question like this makes me pause and take a deep breath.
We spent some time walking at a beach
listening to what he had in mind and all the possibilities and passion that he has.
I could hear the excitement in his voice.
When he asked for my feedback, I said to him,
"you always knew where you needed to go,
so whatever decision you make, I will support you."
I sat on the seawall
he was walking toward the end
probably contemplating all the possibilities
The beautiful sunset was on one side and he was walking to the other side.
His back was touched by the sunset
as if the sun were giving him a blessing
while he was walking into his future.
I watched him walking away from me
feeling blessed to be a witness to his journey.
