Forty-two minutes

July 16, 2014: Forty-two minutes. A simple phone call. And my boy is growing up. He called me and wanted to talk. This is ………. rare. We talked about his new relationship, some of his long-term friendships … how he felt about how much we had to move around when he was an adolescent. Politics. How he felt about his father. This is a kid I fought for. Who I would have given my life for. Through an ADHD / bipolar diagnosis. A near-fatal car accident, which will impact his life forever. Desperate measures to make sure he was okay. Forty-two minutes. A simple phone call … life is good.
