It is almost bedtime on a warm July night. The open bedroom window offers a gentle breeze. We are snuggled into our summer book of the week.
A sentence grabs his attention. The teenage daughter in the story is rebelling from her Catholic upbringing.
"Is it really ok with you if I choose what I want to believe about God?"
"Yes, mijo. As long as it does good for others and is true to your heart, I will always support you."
I watch his face relax. He reaches for my hand.
I can offer him this gift.
