Sequoia's Farwell: Some thoughts on Pride & Loss

In this 116th episode I step aside as Doctor Jim and talk from the heart as a father. My eldest child Sequoia just fledged the nest and is currently living and training in Dubois, Wyoming as he starts his career in backcountry horse guiding and mule packing. Though incredibly proud of him I can't overlook the feeling of loss. The loss of a child... Insomuch is it pertains to that child becoming an adult. It is bittersweet, a natural part of life, but hurts nevertheless. This one goes out to all of the parents out there who have experienced this life transition, and to those who have yet to experience such a thing.
