Amazing how these things - nothing more than kids' earnest emotional expressions - stick with us for so long. @diane That’s heartbreakingly touching; thank you for sharing.

He told me, very seriously, that "Dad would give me good protection, but I couldn't live without you, Mom." My husband and I have been married for almost 35 years, so he never had to go through that trauma. But I still remember his sweet and solemn statement these many years later. diane Damian,

When my son switched from private school to public school, he had his first encounter with a child whose parents were going through a divorce.

He told me, very seriously, that “Dad would give me good protection, but I couldn’t live without you, Mom.”

My husband and I have been married for almost 35 years, so he never had to go through that trauma.

But I still remember his sweet and solemn statement these many years later.

It's strange how parenthood changes one. It's not something I've ever been able to articulate to non-parents, except thru anecdotes such as this. Hope your little guy is on the mend - I wish him a speedy recovery. Thanks, Alec. It’s strange how parenthood changes one.

Parenting is a beautiful thing, and while I sit here holding my kids on New Year's eve ... I know there is no place that I'd rather be. Beautiful moment, Damian, I can relate.
