I'm speechless!

[Hammerhead]

This evening I got a knock at the door around 9:30. I thought it was a bit odd having a visitor at this time of night especially on a sunday. I open the door to find two young men standing on my porch. I say hello and wait for a response. One of the young men says "Hey stranger" like he knows me. After a few awkward seconds of looking at him it hits me like a truck. IT'S MY SON!!! I nearly had a heart attack. Then I almost cryed (OK, I admit I let out a few tears). I haven't seen my eldest son in almost 7 years. Last time I saw him he was a teenage boy and now he has become a young man.

WOW! I'm stoked! Right now I'm so excited I hardly know what to say.

So is there a REWIND story to this?

why havn't you talked to your son in 7 years?

[Hammerhead]

He fell off the face of the planet.  I tryed to find him but a few months later his mother moved too so I had no way to find him.

He hunted me down and apoligized and told me he wants to be my son again.

WOOHOO!!!!!

THAT is truely amazing, you sound like a great dad. Glad you got your son back!

My father lives 5 minutes away and I havn't seen him in a few years, he didn't even come to my wedding.

That's why I was a little suspicious at first, my bad.


Thankfully he found you!

[Prismo]

I like reading stories like this. Good for both of you.

[fordh8r]

Good story!  Congrats on your reunion. So...was the other guy a friend of his? Or did I miss that?

[Hammerhead]

Didn't even come to your wedding?  That's harsh dude...

My son and I were buddies.  He would come visit me (his mother and I divorced long time ago) and we always had a great time.  We would ride dirtbikes and stuff and he really loved his younger syblings (I remarried).

Can't wait to go riding again and do some wheelin' with him.

Yes, the other guy was a friend.  Same guy he was hangin' with before...  Nice kid.  Helped track me down...

[abnormaltoy]

Nice story. It's good to hear that you to got together.

[Tool Pimp]

 
Congrats bro...

[kneedownnate]

Good deal man

My parents live about an hour away and I still don't see them too often.  I try and stop in after I go hiking.  I usually feel fine when I come out of the woods, but by the time I sit down in the truck and start driving I start to feel fatigue set in and decide to just keep driving home.

[Hammerhead]

Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked it ended up this way.  We'll be stayin' in touch this time for sure.

[Stocker]

What a heart-warming story -- that really is too cool!  Seven years worth of catchin' up....   wow!   

[*FFC*]

DUUUDE!!! That's AWSOME!!!! Congrats, and I'm happy that you two have found each other!

[baconator]

[sinbob]

Good luck to the both of you.

[Hammerhead]

Yep, some wheelin' will be a good opportunity for "Quality time". 

[UKMyers]

Awesome.. my Dad dropped out of my life when I was 5. I didn't see him again till I was 14 when he made a real effort to back into my life. We are super close now. Glad to hear your son was able to find you.

[Cheesemaker]

That's awesome!     I couldn't imagine being away from my parents, especially my dad.  But that is now hard since he passed away.  But I can say that I had some of my best times with him in the last 2 years of his life!  We spent alot of time going for drives in the woods!  I miss him alot!!   

[Rocksurfer]

That is just too cool, you've got a lot of stuff to talk about.

[86bobbedtoy]

[dizzydevil]
