Yesterday I went with Ocean to meet his father. It was a major step for him, and I wanted to be there with him for every part of it. Not to mention that I was also able to be with him so that I could see the joy in his eyes when everything worked out. Ocean, who had been so sure that this was going to turn into a disaster once we finally started to move forward with the search, ended up being the happiest that I had seen him in a long time.
Just two days ago, I was holding him to my side in our bed as I tried to make sure that he didn't have nightmares about our time in the water, and now I was watching him excitedly decide what to order us all for dinner because his father was coming over tonight. This was a turn of events that I hadn't expected, but I was eternally grateful for.
