he is still alive.

About a week before X was born, Karen and I got together with some friends and i was given this little piece of advise. If at the end of the day he is still alive, you have succeeded as a parent. Well today all i can say is he is still alive.
To sum up, there was a little mishap in the kitchen today and we had a very small grease fire. No damage was done except to the skillet, and no one was heart except for a little smoke inhalation. This was especially worrisome, since X had a little bit of a respiratory issue early on. After the house filled with smoke, and we opened all the windows, and turned on all the fans, and the house was cleared of smoke, we did hear that X did have a little bit of a wheeze, but it too cleared up eventually.
The only thing I could say to him was that I was sorry, but this was not the first time I have filled a house with smoke, and it probably would not be the last time either.
