"Retro"

        I was so glad that the day has come and left. My son Michael has begun his future. He will now be acquainted with a more realistic view of the world. Probably a more complete one then I ever had.
        I have often during this last week began to reflect on his life as I have experienced it with him. His birth, as my son. His potty training days. His calamitous learning how to walk months(bam, pow, ouch ooh....) His early school years. His sports involvement. How he was always the little guy.(not any more) His struggles. His friendships. His learning to drive. His video gaming. Goodness!!!!!!!!!!! To now.
         He is no longer home. This is what is have striven for. Not the not being home part but the him creating a future for himself. I guess as a parent you really want your children to be successful in life and have the ability to be independent and self-sufficient.
          Michael, here is to who you are and to who you will become. Effect change son and enjoy, explore and live each day to the fullest now that you have begun....... May God richly bless you and provide you with life to the fullest. May it exceed your wildest dreams and may you always be a lamp to those who are in need of light........Shine on son, shine on............
