Cindy left her husband for another man when their son was only five years old. Basically he grew up without a mom as dad played both roles which made the bond even stronger than usual. Helped him with homework from school in later years and did the usual father and son things together. Playing catch with a football, games, trips together, and some fishing. His son Bobby finally turned twenty years old as the years flew by so quickly as they often do. He talked to his dad about moving out and getting his own apartment. "I did the same thing when I was your age also. We all leave the nest when it is our time" he said to his son. "Before you go, lets go out for a dinner together and celebrate". "Sure thing dad, next Saturday is good"? he asked. "You got it son, I'll make a reservation". They walked into the restaurant and sat down at their designated table. Bobby noticed a place setting on the table for three instead of two. "What's up with the third party setting"? he asked his dad. "Oh, it's a special surprise that should be here shortly". A lady familiar to dad from many years ago walked in as she was directed to the table. Something quite amazing happened as she sat down. Before dad could explain to his son who this stranger was, his son Bobby blurted out "mom, I missed you"! They both hugged and kissed and cried as so did dad. Bobby canceled his plans temporarily about moving out and leaving the nest. Dad was secretly dating her once again as his former wife made contact a few months ago. It was the commitment she made to come back and make this marriage work again. Their son lived with them for another ten years and caught up on old times and love lost between a mother and her son. Maybe time has a way of making things right once again. Case in point in a short love story about dad, Cindy, and Bobby....
