MORGAN, Justice
(dissenting).
Although I do not like to upset the decision of a trial judge, who has the terribly difficult task of deciding these controversies in the first instance, I would also reverse the judgment and remand the case, not because I have any doubt about the defendant’s ability to properly care for the children, but rather because I think that at least the younger child is of tender years. I further think the children should not be separated as counsel agreed at oral argument. Broad visitation privileges would give defendant ample opportunity to do the things that fathers do with their sons on weekends and holidays.
I would reverse the judgment and remand.
