a year and a half

At church today we celebrated with the high school seniors who will be graduating. The sermon was focused on them and their new venture in life. Afterward we had a lunch where we viewed a slide show, they were given bibles and a personal blessing. My turn is coming soon. In just a year and a half my son will turn eighteen. And then, it will be time for him to get ready to graduate and move on. The time is flying by too swiftly for me. I try to make every little life lesson that is continually doled out into an experience that he can see will serve him in the near future. It just won’t be long until he is moving out on his own. A year and a half, and he will be an official adult!

    It’s a tough time of life for parents, isn’t it!

    Not to minimize what you are feeling because I know how bittersweet it is to watch your children grow, but your son’s graduation will be the first step toward college, career, marriage, and then…utterly wonderful grandchildren. :O)

    I was talking with a friend about your post yesterday. We both commented how different things are here, where children don’t just abruptly leave home at 18, but rather sort of ease out over a long period of time. It must be much easier here.
