I know I missed out some lines in the song 😉

The Parent: Dude?
The Boy: Yeah?
TP: In the past said some very unkind things to you, and hurt your body with my body.
TB: (nodding)
TP: I have apologised for doing that with my words. I like to believe that I have shown you in the way that I have chosen to build a new relationship with you that I am sorry for what I did, and that I don’t want to ever do it again.
TB: (still nodding)
TP: I can think I am doing the right thing, but I need to check with you how the message is landing.
TB: (smiling and nodding)
TP: So that was me checking in that everything is landing the right way
TB: Can I have something to eat?
TP: Sure. Cuddle?
TB: No.

I ask him at least once every day for a cuddle. I remember the last time he said yes. I know he will say yes again. I accept his no every time.
