Near

My son can teach me the most profound lessons.

Accidentally.

Will was helping me outside and a couple of times as we were walking here to there I restrained the impulse to tell him to move, get out of the way. He was often right on my heels or I was on his.

Then it occurred to me that the only reason he was geographically located where he was is because he was near me.

He wanted to be near me.

And I almost snapped at him for it.

I have so much to learn.
