"My son and I had a great talk about family and helping each other and the conversation kept going. We haven't hung out with each other and talked like that for a very long time. He even gave me a hug good night! Then today he asked if I'd go for a walk in the woods. He talked about things he's really enjoying doing and what he thinks about many topics. We talked for almost three hours last night and three more on our walk. Your words of wisdom really helped!" - Julie
