Talk about seeing reason. You're definitely on the Saint Jason
bandwagon! LOL. Robin was right. A father has as much right to be in
his child's life as a mother does. Even Jason knows that now. He has
said several times since Alan died that he and Carly and Sonny were
wrong to keep Michael from AJ. Or did you miss those episodes?
