You came into my life in a hectic flash. You chose me before I chose you. You became my son. When you finally learned to speak, I felt the same pride as any father. You hated being held and hugged like any boy, but I did it anyway. The sound of my bed springs compressing when I laid down was your signal to join me and demand attention. We enjoyed each other's company for almost 15 years. But now your body has failed you, and today I had to make the decision between my own selfish need for your presence, and your relief from this debilitative state. You may be gone from my floor, my furniture, my side, but you will always be in my memory and heart.
