It's nearly that time again. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday when our first born walked the stage and now we are nearing that time again. You would think I would be a pro at this by now but the feeling is so different, yet so similar. It's like I am going through this for the first time but I am also familiar of that "done" feeling. We invested 12 years of waking up early, getting out the door on time, doing homework, packing lunches, going on field trips, experiencing sadness, joy, and frustration, and in one brief moment it all comes to an end. Now what?
For our firstborn in the last year we have watched him come out of his shell. Things he struggled with are now a walk in the park. Things we never thought he would accomplish ... HE has! We are not entirely sure where his path may go but we are so proud of him for making the right choices. He is cautious and questionable. He is mature enough to see the concerns we have for his siblings and understand them. He has to test the waters before diving in. He is kind and considerate and oh so stubborn in his ways. He brings a smile to our face with his wacky words and gestures. I know that God has plans for him. He just needs to see that for himself.
