Very touching story Chris. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with Noah and Lisa. Your share stirred up a great memory of a past last-minute Wildwood July 4th of my own.
While it stirred up memories of your experiences with your Dad that seem bittersweet, it also seems to serve you as motivation to do the best you can with Noah and most importantly, be there for him. Clearly you are.
BTW loved the reference to the "sandy" Game Boy. I had one of those (not sandy).
I love everything you write, especially how you have transformed pain into being a great father and companion to Noah.
Thank you, @Dr. Tara Cousineau 💛! Your words always mean a lot.

Thank you, Melanie! Absolutely, I always carry that with me. Somehow the Game Boy lasted years despite the sand!
Such a moving reflection Chris, great writing 🙏
Thank you, Jane! That means a lot.
