A new family member

Well my son missed another family milestone. His new niece, Lexi was born and he was not here to be part of it. I dont think he realizes what he is missing out on while he is out having his 'on the road' adventures. I pray one day he will come back to the family but I worry about how much he will have missed and will he still have a place in this family. Some will welcome him back in with reservation, some will not welcome him back at all and others will welcome him back with open hearts. I try to remind myself this was his decision and there is nothing that I can do to change it but it still breaks my heart that he is missing out on so much.
