The acceptance, love and joy your father showed Myles was an expression of his love for you. No need to be envious; it was you there in his arms, just as much as it was his grandson. These letters are a wonderful expression of your love for your family and, as you've acknowledged yourself, your own growth as a man, husband and father. As Myles grows and has his own relationships with your family and friends, those relationships are his. You are the catalyst, but his relationships will be very different to the ones you have, because he is different. That is hard to accept sometimes but beautiful in itself. Watching our children grow and become independent is both a joy and a heartache all at once. But mostly joy and oh, so beautiful.

You did right to put your son first though I know it was painful to you.
