"Dad?" Todd turned away from the dog and looked at George. "How do you decide if something is a good Christmas present?"
George wondered where this conservation was best just to go along for the ride and enjoy it. "If the person likes the gift, then it's a good gift." George looked at his son affectionately and shared with him an observation that he and Mary Ann had made on many occasions. "You're an excellent gift-giver."
"I try to give people things they need."
George point to the to the black lab resting on the floor of the cabin. "That was a good gift.
Todd sank down beside the dog. "I agree."
"What would you like this year?" George asked his son.
"I think I would like to stop worrying all the time. About work, friendships, were to live...stuff like that." Todd paused. "Sometimes I feel like I don't know where I belong.
This statement bothered George Todd. "Todd, I hope you know you'll always belong here with your Mom and me. This is your home just like it's ours."
"Dad, Can I ask you something else?" Todd looked at this father and gave voice to something he had been thinking about for days, probably for weeks--may even month. "What does it feel like to be in love?"
