I heard today that my younger son, Chris, 26, has signed up to work on a cruise ship and has flown off to Juneau, Alaska to join the ship. They’re going to be gone 12 weeks and travel down the west coast and through the Panama Canal.
I was very happy to hear that he’d done this. He and I have been estranged now for several years and I couldn’t even begin to tell you what that’s all about because I don’t know – I’m hoping he’ll get over it at some point.
But, regardless, I’m really pleased that he’s made a move to go see some of the world before he’s gotten too drawn into jobs, relationships and responsibilities.
Go Chris! Good on ya, son.
