This really tore at my heartstrings. Congratulations on not being that parent that said: "I told you so."
It is so hard to let them do their own thing when you know they aren't doing it the way you would have. Do we ever do it the way we were herded towards? To watch your kids struggle in ways that you know weren't needed hurts, but, I can say that if they are happy, does it really matter?
I am sad for your loss, but, happy that he felt he was in the right place in life. I cannot say enough for self-satisfaction in life.
Brilliant write with a powerful ending.
Congrats!

Thanks @dswigle. You captured exactly my feelings during that time. But then I realized that what we thought was not enough, he thought was perfect. You can't measure your ideas against someone else's hopes and desires. Everyone runs at their own pace.
Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my post. I really appreciate your kind words.
Have a great day, and take care.
