Sounds like he's raised a dad he can be proud of -- time for his sabbatical :) But truly, this is achingly beautiful.
The title caught my eye initially. In two weeks, I'm moving a continent away from my kids. They're about a decade younger than your young man, and there's nothing beautiful about the situation. But your piece reminds me that the arc of parenting is long, and I needed that. I thank you.

Him raising me is a good way to put it; we definitely got her together.
The arc of parenting is indeed long, and though it bends, it looks to be forever unfinished.
(And thanks for the nice comment and for reading.)
Lovely and true
beautiful, thank you Roblin.
Thank you, Steve.
Truly lovely; as much an homage to your roles in life, in your children’s lives, as it is an homage to your children in your life.
