My youngest son Joshua’s 2014 high school graduation
inspired tonight’s article. I am really proud of both of my boys for finishing
high school and wanting to go to college. I’ve always told them that whatever
they decide to do for a career needs to be something they are passionate about
and whatever it is, they need to understand what kind of lifestyle it will
support. In other words, if they are happy as a cashier, I’m happy for them as
long as it supports their day-to-day wellbeing (i.e., so they can become
independent). I have one son who wants to be a scientist and the other a
computer engineer. It is really exciting to see both of them working to create
their futures. I know I sound old when I say this but it just seems like
yesterday when they were running around and looking at me through innocent and
loving eyes. This is when they wanted to spend all of their time with me.
Today, they do not seem so innocent as they venture through trials and
tribulations and while I am not a big priority in their lives at this time I
realize this is part of their growing process. I’m
happy they are confident enough to get out into life and push forward! They are
wonderful young men.
I also realize as they move from their teens and into
their twenties, our relationship will change again and they’ll come to
appreciate our time together; I can’t wait!
Until then, I’m just trying to remember to breathe and I’m
saying a lot of prayers for them while I am supportive and in the sidelines! It’s hard to love our children without
smothering them especially as they venture into the world!
I’m grateful for our time together and I’m happy to see them
excited about their future!
Do you know any graduates this year? What are your thoughts
about their future? Leave me a note.
