i had a dark moment of the soul tonight.  carl went to visit elliott.  i took my son out to eat and we went for ice cream afterwards.  as i watched him shovel strawberry ice cream into his mouth - i was sorry that i brought him into this world.  not sorry to have him here - he is literally the very epitome of light and love.  people that aren't us have said that about him.  reminding myself how lucky i was to have him here just made me feel guiltier.  then i went trifecta on myself when i realized that with thoughts like that i wasn't going to be able to teach him to have a joy for life.
as you can see it's been a rough day and since, like a night of drunken debauchery i will tomorrow regret having told you that  - i don't really feel bad leaving it at that.
