I've been knitting Cameron's hat.  He is Emily's boyfriend, someone of whom we've become absurdly fond.  If you've followed my posts, and Ray's, you know we gave him a laptop for Christmas.  Meanwhile, back at the ranch (as I like to say), I noticed his hair is kept very short, and somewhere in there I asked Emily or him if he'd like a hat.  A knitted, warm, wool hat. With earflappythingies.
The answer was yes.


It's a version of a touque.  In the color combination he likes. With augmentation from other elements.  I took it over to him at his mother's house.  He was shoveling the driveway, and when I arrived, he dashed out to the street to greet me.  I gave him the hat, he tore off the store-bought thing he had on, and put mine on.  Twice he hugged me.   And thanked me.

I'm covering my face from the emotion I'm feeling tonight.  I feel like Cameron has been abandoned.   Okay, so things between his mom and his dad didn't work out.  Whose fault is that?  Not his, but honestly, I feel he's been somehow made to pay.

Have hope, Cameron.  You are talented. And loved.  And you will, someday, find your way.

We.  Are.  Here.  For.  You.

knitting, daughter, boyfriend
