I knocked on my son Wade’s front door, looking forward to seeing
him, as well as his place. It had been a couple of months since I last saw the
home, when I signed the rental agreement.
Wade had just graduated from college, and I wanted to give him a
place to stay which was close to my home…without inviting him back into
my home. I loved him dearly, but it was time for him to stand on his own
two feet.
I was happy to help him by covering the cost of the apartment. It
had been my idea, actually. I’d made a great life for myself, working hard
over the years to climb the corporate ladder. I wanted to share my good
fortune with my only son, while relieving his stress and giving him the best
start at adult life.
Plus, I knew that once he found steady work, Wade would take over
the rent payments. I just hoped he found a job he enjoyed, and was qualified
for. Unfortunately, he didn’t follow in my footsteps in financial analytics,
instead pursuing an art degree. There was nothing wrong with art, of course,
but I knew nothing about it, or how to help him with his career path. But I
could help him financially until he found his own way in life.
I wasn’t the only one looking after Wade. Gavin, his best friend
since grade school, was going to be living with him. They’d been
inseparable for years, even living as roommates as they attended college
together.
I hadn’t seen much of Gavin lately, but I knew him very well. I
think he spent just as much time at my home throughout the boys’ grade
school and high school years as he spent at his own place. He had a rocky
home life growing up, and I was pleased I could provide a space where he
felt safe.
Even though Gavin had been through a lot, he was a great kid with
a good head on his shoulders. He was smart and grounded, and I hoped
those attributes would rub off onto my somewhat flighty son. Granted, they
hadn’t yet, even through a decade of friendship and four years at college,
but I could still dream.
The door opened and I smiled widely at Wade. It was like looking
at a younger version of myself; we were both tall with broad necks and
shoulders, but my frame was more padded than his. My graying hair was
thinner than his dark, curly locks, but we had matching slate gray eyes, and
the same long, slim nose.
We even trimmed our facial hair the same way,
though his short beard was dark brown while mine was salt and pepper.
“Hey Dad,” he greeted as he pulled me into a back-slapping hug.
“Hey. Are you getting settled in okay?” Unfortunately, I’d been tied
up with work and didn’t have a chance to help him move in, but I hired a
company to help the process go smoothly.
“Yep, the place is all done. Check it out.” Wade ushered me inside
and closed the door behind us.
