Graduations

Good morning. Early start here. Tis the season where many of you are having Graduations. Yesterday, I had the last High School Graduation of my children. While I am proud and excited about all his future could hold in college and beyond I found myself also a little saddened. Not to be too nostalgic but it really is an end of a phase of life, For Him and Us. Hopefully, it is the beginning of a far better one. I could really go on about the changes to come but wanted to just hit on a couple things for Parents and Kids. Kids: Know that your parents Love you with All their heart. While they are Far from Perfect the things they do are done because they Love you and have Your Best Interest at Heart. Listen, Learn and Grow. Be Yourselves and Just Keep Going No Matter What. If you do... Things will happen. I won't happen all at once. Be Patient and Strong! Your Parents Love You More and are Prouder of you than You can Realize. Parents: Remember Your Kids aren't Perfect... They are Kids, They will make mistakes... You Did! The hope is they have Listened, more than you sometimes think. They will Learn from their Mistakes and continue to Grow. Just Keep Loving Them No Matter What. I actually read a lot this week about how are world is going to hell in a hand basket...That is a story for a different day. Our Youth Will always give us a chance to Grow and make this world Better... As we get older we can't possibly do all that our Youth has a chance to do... Keep Praying, Loving and Growing. Everyone have a Great Week!
