How kind you are, KD1980!

I must admit that I used my son to comfort someone on more than one occasion as a baby. About the same time, when he was 5 months old, I took him to a conference with me as I was still nursing. I sat in the back of the room so I could make a quick exit if I needed to. Another man sat down next to me and after awhile asked if he could hold the baby. I let him, since he was sitting next to me. After he gave the baby back another man came up to him and asked him how he was doing. He said he had been having a very difficult time lately. I was glad my son gave him a little respite from that. Interestingly enough, my son has grown into a very empathetic young man, so I guess these experiences didn't warp him.
