My son graduated from high school last Friday and I said I would write a blog post about it. As I started thinking about what to write I looked back at what I wrote when my colleagues and I posted back in the fall about our kids starting the school year. Here’s what I said:
My youngest started his Senior year and will graduate early, so in six short months our lives will change in ways I have long planned for but still can hardly imagine. Both of my boys will be up and out in the world and all of us will find new freedoms and challenges to chase. Braydon’s school life has not always been a positive experience. Seeing him here, having navigated this stretch, makes me proud, relieved, and excited about his future plans and the possibilities that lie ahead for him.
Well, here we are on the flip side of the Senior year and, here is what I can say now:
My son graduated from high school on Friday. Our lives have already changed in ways I have long planned for but still can hardly imagine. Both of my boys are up and out in the world and all of us are finding new freedoms and challenges to chase. Braydon’s school life was not always a positive experience. Seeing him here, having navigated this stretch, makes me proud, relieved, and excited about his future plans and the possibilities that lie ahead for him.
Go, Braydon, go have adventures and don’t ever stop!
