Thinking of a John Lennon song

Today is our son's thirty third birthday.  Our only child, you'd think parenting would be simpler than it would be for parents with, say, five children.  Yet, we make it more complicated by worrying over the idea of when to get involved and when to step aside.  With five children do parents feel relieved when their kids ask them not to get involved?  I don't know.  I only know it was good to see and hug him today outside his office building as we delivered birthday brownies and a gift basket.  He seemed genuinely glad to see us.  Hope so.  We never want to be a nuisance, add one more thing to an already full plate of Life.  We hope he knows we offer a soft place to fall should he ever need it.  He is the light of our lives.  And the John Lennon song?  Beautiful Boy.
