<<<<I don't want to hi-jack your thread. I'm so glad you've had this epiphany and also that you feel your love for your son. I just need to tell you that your post help me clarify the calmness I've felt lately about "planning." I feel distant from my kids, like they don't really need me anymore. Like they could stand it and go on and be just fine. I didn't really realize I felt this way until I read your post. I'll have to think about what has changed and why I feel so removed.
But I'm still glad you're feeling what you're feeling. It sounds really nice.
