david couldn't wait to get off work, for he had an exciting
weekend planned. he and his seven-year-old son, landon, were
going on a camping trip. as david drove toward the greenville
suburb where landon lived with his mother, the guilt gnawed
at him. he hated that since the divorce nearly a year ago he
had not spent the quality time with landon that he now wished
he had. the two-hour drive to landon's new home only
complicated the wish for more frequent visits. david decided he
was not going to dwell on the past but instead look to the
future. this weekend camping trip was just what they needed.

2 when david arrived, landon met him at the door, grinning
like someone who'd just won the lottery. an hour later they
were setting up camp. before long, they headed to the creek
bank with fishing poles in hand. as they each sat on a five-
gallon bucket, few words were spoken, but david knew that old
wounds were healing. as landon reeled in a tiny bream, he
looked over at his dad and said, "you know what, dad? this is
the most fun i've ever had. even though his throat was
tightening in an effort to hold back tears, david managed to
say, "me too, son. me, too."
