This came in from "RP", and it made me feel better. He also has three sons (and they are grown up now). He was responding to this week's Father Knows Nothing column about my son Tommy's current dislike of his dear old dad. He writes...
"Yes, it hurts. And you have yet two more.
Hold on to one thing you wrote: 'He still calls this the best week of his life.'
Still. Even now. As he tries to push you away with both hands.
He will come back to you as a man. I promise."
Thanks, RP. That does make me feel better. I hope you're right.
