Me (sitting at the dining room table):
"Now that you've started school, we should probably go over some basic info."
Sippy Cup: "Ok."
Me: "So, do you know where you live?"
Sippy Cup: "Yeah. Here."
Me (sighing) : "Good job."

The 5th Stage

** Editors Note ** - In 2002, after a full year of trying to make sense of what I had experienced, this cartoon strip gave me the best advice possible.
I clipped it, kept it and now share it with my son and with all of you.
I hope, in whatever small way, it helps you too.

A Letter to Future Sippy Cup (14)
Hey kid,
Today the weather was rather nasty with random bouts of thunder and lightning passing through the city.
We spent the day inside, huddled on the couch, eating popcorn, watching cartoons and laughing like two lunatics.
In a few weeks, you will be starting Pre-K and, while I am looking forward to the misadventures this new chapter in your life holds in store for us, I know that I will miss these days terribly.
I have spent the past 2 years at home with you and, in that time, you have taught me more about what it means to be a "man" than anyone else in my life.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I love you. And, more importantly, thank you.
Love,
Dad
