What are we doing here (2)?

Alex turned 25 on Thursday. A quarter century of being parents for us. I can still feel the moment when he arrived as though it was a few hours ago. How it feels to be the father of one living child, and not two, is a much more complicated matter. It is always jarring, especially on good days, like today. Nick's absence is like a pendulum - it swings away at times, then comes hurtling back.
