I Hope I Remember This

Last night as I said prayers and tucked in my 10 1/2 year old son, Antonio, he mentioned that soon he would be a teenager.
Not only that, but being born on October 13th meant that his 13th birthday would also be his golden birthday.
"Wow," I told him, "we will have to have an extra special party that year."
We lay in silence for a few minutes and than I told him he might not want a big party, being a hormonal teenager by then an all.
"You probably won't want anything to do with me at all," I told him. "but I was the same way when I was a teenager so don't worry, I forgive you already."
He was silent for a moment and then gave me a big hug and said, "Well, I just want to say I am sorry in advance, too."
It is an apology I hope I never forget :)
