...his best friend spent the night and it was a pretty nomal night.

Tonight he cried and cried at bedtime and begged to slepp in my bed. I stayed with him until he fell asleep.

He said he didn't want to talk, he just wanted to sleep in my room.

I screwed this up when he first told us, and now I don't know what to do.

I just stroked his hair and told him I loved him and that I was so lucky until he fell asleep.

I am so lucky.
