"It's funny - I was having a similar conversation about my son with someone else a while ago." Weps smiles at Clay. "To be honest, I'd rather talk about him and be a little sad than not talk about him - if that makes sense. It's important that I remember him.
He's wonderful - but then all parents say that I suppose. He makes me laugh. He keeps me young. He keeps me fit. He's so serious sometimes. He has these little expressions, sayings. He tells me things his momma obviously doesn't want him to tell me... We go camping together - sleep outside, go fishing, look for animal tracks. It's a totally different relationship to anything I've ever known - it's a love unlike any other..."
Weps pauses, swallowing hard, blinking back tears. "I miss him - but I know his momma'll be looking after him. What I can't bear is him thinking I've abandoned him - that he's done something wrong - you know?"
