Things are changing in my household. My oldest son is graduating high school and preparing to go to college and my other son is growing up fast.
I’m the first to admit that I don’t like change but it’s swirling around me nonetheless. After a bout of sadness yesterday, I got to thinking about what I was doing. I was remembering the wonderful days of years past: making snowmen, jumping in leaves, trips to Disney World and Legoland and beaches and pools, Christmas stockings and finger painting.
Even though those were great times, I wouldn’t want my boys stuck in them. I want them to experience life, to do crazy things and stumble but get back up and try again, to see amazing places and meet interesting people, to challenge themselves in ways I never had the guts to do. So I decided the best thing I could do is step aside and let things flow and happen as they come. I’m sure I’ll have more setbacks but I’m also sure that there are many more NEW memories in the making – for all of us.
Wonderful outlook, honey
