The Sensitive One

During a backrub tonight, Gavin and I had a conversation. We just got back from spending 4 days at Grandma and Grandpa Schulz's house for the Thanksgiving holiday.

G- Why did you guys move away from Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Me-Well, I never lived there. Daddy lived there when he was growing up.
G- Why did he move?
Me- He moved when he became a grown up. He went to college and then moved to Colorado. Then we moved here. Someday you'll probably have a family and live somewhere else too.
G- (fighting back the tears) Will I still get to see you and Daddy?
Me- Of course you will. I love you very much. We'll always be able to see each other.
G- (voice crackling, lip quivering, and still fighting back tears) O.K.
