They needed the time alone. My hubby is and has been gone so much of the time. There were long stretches of time when all the kids saw of him was when he was home long enough to do laundry, cash the pay check and sleep one night.

So, it was a good time for them to really see each other in a more like friend than father/son. It's nice to see the closeness between them now.

But it definitely was a win-win situation. I'm more than glad I allowed them to go.
