VT Weekend

What a wonderful father and son weekend.  Time flies and children grow into adults much too fast.  One benefit of their growing up is that you get to know who they are as people.  You can have a real adult conversation with them.  You can understand what they stand for, what they enjoy, and what brings them anxiety.  You can understand them more as people.  I find this to be a wonderful gift and equate it to adding another close friend in your life.
