I will be joining him in a month. His mother is already there. By the time I get there he will have a job, a driver's license and various other rites of passage completed. I am not sure I like this. However, I am glad that he has three siblings there already who can help with all the details of getting settled. He does have strong desires, large plans and an element of self-confidence. All of this I am thankful for. I just guess I am still wanting to be the "total" father and he is really launching out.
It did not help that he was taken off the second of the four flights that will get him "home". It was not his fault, the airlines realized that he could not make a connection because his flight was delayed and therefore they put him up in a hotel.
Just wish being a parent was not so complicated.
