Blacktail Deer Plateau If I die Young

Sorry for the wait on this!

Grayday licked his son's cheek. "There's nothing I wouldn't forgive you for, Sunny," he said ardently, pressing a bit closer. He wished Sunny was yet small, so that he could fold the boy up in his embrace. "You don't need to win my love. And, as far as transgressions have gone, I don't think there's been much to forgive. You've made me very proud, son. And while I wish I'd been around more for you, I'm glad you were able to find your own way."

He knew that Sunny was tiring, and although he wanted to continue their heart-to-heart, he knew it was important that Sunny found rest. "You flatter me, my boy," said Grayday with a grin. "The five of your are my pride and joy. If there's anything to admire me for, it's the family that's been given to me."
