You are a wonder...

My son and I survived the requisite family Christmas dinner today. We decompressed and debriefed afterward when we arrived at home tonight over a glass of wine.  We discussed many things of importance--family dynamics, family history, alliances and choices. My son at 23 is much wiser than I was at his age, or for that matter more than I ever hope to be. 

This is what I felt compelled to email him tonight after he called it a night:
"I'm not good at telling you this (nor are you the most comfortable receiving this) but I must tell you that you are a wonder.  You are truly a wonder."
