Life and love

Location : Gulf of Mexico

Discussing life with kids is always interesting. As a kid, life is
agonisingly slow, unbelieveably clear, enviably unending and yet inevitably
unsatisfying.

So this kid is getting married at the end of the year. As I absorbed his
vision of how his married life and parenthood would be, I was particularly
struck by a statement of his. He said, " Sir, I love my nephew like my own
(future) son. Tomorrow even if something goes wrong between myself and my
brother, I will still love my nephew like my own son."

Yeah Well. About that...

Leave your child in the middle of the night for half a year and be
surprised to find yourself crying. and then shed those tears for another
kid.

Then we'll talk some more.
