I thought the world would come to a standstill the day I discovered my ideal wasn’t real. It was a Sunday afternoon after church, December 2004, when my oldest son, a freshman in college at the time, walked in the front door, through the kitchen, into the family room and emptied his pockets of his most prized possessions, laying them gently on his daddy's chest.
