Root Beer Floats and Restored Relations

Due to various circumstances my husband and our eldest son have had a rough relationship for the pat couple of years. I understand our sons feelings of anger, betrayal, and hurt and I also understand my husbands feelings of wanting forgiveness, appreciation, and grace. I've been in a tough spot and have felt at times torn in two, it's not a fun place to be in. I've been praying for them to find some form of common ground again, to speak, to connect, they used to be so close, I just want a fraction of that, I've spoken to them both at length about this, it usually falls on deaf ears and closed hearts, and me closing with I'll continue praying for restoration. You see I'll never give up on their relationship because God won't. He knows sons and fathers need each other and so do I, I have faith in that. So a week ago my son decided to head out and talk to his dad, help his dad, it was a brief but a postive step, I went inside, elated, I said nothing and stepped back and removed myself and let them chat. As the week progresses things got better and better, we spent Friday evening together as a family, and then came Sunday we had a glorious family day, I made or sons request for dinner with his assistance on the grill, and he asked his dad to make root beer floats, which I started to fuss about the cost (I'm frugal not cheap), so off they went to the store for ingredients. We had yet another glorious evening of our whole family together enjoying each other, playing and giggling and joking. What a joy it was!  Later that evening my husband told me money isn't an issue when we're restoring relationships. He was right. So we'll be having more of these root beer float and restoration nights!
