A reminder to all of us - some of the choice quotes/questions from straight talking Joshua:

• I feel like everyone seems to like Amy more... she's the perfect little child
• I have better quality friends but less quantity
• Did I turn out to be the son you wanted me to b when I was born - did I meet your expectations
• I was the one who made you a parent
• Ever thought you couldn't cope with having a child

I am humbled by both mother and son.
