My Son and I — Jason Blacker

An old man waits patiently for his son's visit. He is not disappointed. His son has come to visit. His son has served his country well and become a successful businessman in his own right.

They walk in the park, listening to the birds, enjoying the warm summer sun and the cool breeze on their faces. The old man reminisces about his family and the wonderful gifts life has blessed him with.

But with age time gives gifts but takes much of the vigour that was once youth. A story exploring age, family and relationships through the tender love of a father and his son.
