Goodbye

3:30pm: I'm sitting in my chair reading a book when my son comes in to sit with me. Sitting on the bed he asks what I'm doing I tell him I'm reading a book. We laughed together. We sit and chat for several moments. He's laughing and smiling, something I don't see him do very often. He stands up and comes to me and tells me how much he loves me and then I'm and that I'm a great mom. I laugh and say where did that come from. I love hearing it but it's not something that your 49-year-old child often come to you and says. He laughs and says he's just in a really great mood today. He hugs me and gives me a kiss. The goes outside where he has been tinkering with his Jeep.
