Today my son will begin college and I have to tell you that it has not been easy getting him this day! No it has been a real experience and more than ever I look at all the firsts! I can honestly say that this is a day that his grand mother would be very proud of. But I know she is looking down and proud of him anyway! I have to thank God that he has brought me this long in life to see this happen! It is a true blessing to see this happen!
Now I will keep pushing him and encouraging in anyway he needs. We as fathers must always remember that no matter how old the kids get they will always need us.
My dad to this day still calls and asks if I need anything! I have learned from him how to be a good dad and how to make sure things get taken care of. I have learned from God that one of the greatest blessings in our lives are our children. He gives them to us for a time and we must teach and instruct the best way we can to make sure that they in turn will be good parents when the time comes for God to bless them with kids!
I have made mistakes, and I have some correct decisions, and at times I know that I have let a few people down. But I am still here plugging away and if I have done wrong to anyone I make sure that I can make it right if I can! So I thank God again for allowing me to see this day. And I ask Him to take care and protect all of the kids who are starting school or college!
Blessings to all,
