Sometime after my wife and I had split up and my kids were grown I made a special trip to San Diego to visit with my son Curt. (pictured) He was still living with his mother but the time had come for us to have a father son talk.
The message I was there to deliver was that I no longer was going to be sending him money so he needed to figure out how to take care of himself. I also told him however that whenever he finally decided what he wanted to do with his life and it took some more of education to do so, Dad would definitely pay for that. He claimed that he had being expecting our little chat and had already figured out what he wanted to do and when I excitedly asked what his plan was, he said … I just wanna hang out Dad!
