5 states, 3 days, 2 planes, 2 colleges, one car, one son
My son and I visited two universities over the last several days. We looked at Belmont University in Nashville and Loyola University in New Orleans. It was a fun and interesting trip. Hours on the plane and many hours in a car gave us a chance to talk like we haven’t had in years. It has been an amazing transformation to watch him mature into a young man. We don’t agree on everything in life (music, politics’ etc.) but his thoughtfulness shows a level of maturity that I respect. As parents we hope and pray that our children “turn out right”. I think that is more important that they find their own way and develop a sense of themselves. If there is one thing that I hope I can give all my children is the idea that developing that sense of oneself is a lifelong process. It is one of the most fulfilling parts of life.
