[Kätzchen]

...came yesterday, after spending hours in Seattle area traffic.

I took my youngest son on a drive, so we could hang out and talk, while listening to music and observing life as it happens in traffic....of course, the rain let up for a spell, making it possible to enjoy the views of the skyline at night and the countryside and gorgeous islands across the resounding Elliot Bay.

Perfect therapy session for my son and I.

He got to lighten his burdens and i felt blessed that he could tell me about life, as he experiences troubling situations that have no real answers. But being able to just be in the moment with him, helped us both (tremendously).
