[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 676669, member: 17720"] I'm so sorry, SS, for the jolt and the inner mayhem that comes from just running into him when you weren't expecting it. It is like we have built a fortress and we feel a sense of certainty and predictability, and then something like this happens and we see those walls are made of Swiss cheese. My take on his comment is that it was jolting to him too, maybe not to the extent it was for you but still an upset to his equilibrium, and that is what he was expressing to you. That he felt SOMETHING, and he wanted you to know that. Who knows if he FELT like he was going to cry or he was astute enough to pick up that he OUGHT to feel like he was going to cry; that question can drive us crazy. But I sure do wish we could just run into our kids and not have it be like this. I'm glad you found your footing again. I'm glad we have this place. [/QUOTE]
