Regardless of living for the joy of each day I don't think it is wrong to occasionally put little check marks in the column of normal father /son growth and relationships. Today Alex got back from a family vacation. He and Kristy took their family on their first family vacation. It really is a mark on the life list for a dad to take his family on car vacation. Ask your dad if that adventure doesn't have a special place in their dreams and nightmares. It is such a milestone a movie was actually made of the adventure. I don't know anybody that hasn't laughed at the Griswold's on their vacation to Walley World.
This dad is proud of his son. Not so long ago I didn't even dare to dream. Today dreams come true.

I'm happy you're "feeling" those feelings. I'm sure your son had some of those feelings too as he traveled. I will be where you are (having proud moments) some day and my daughter will be where your son is. I have no doubts, just plan hope.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture. I have hope that my son will one day experience this.
ReplyDeleteSo great for Alex and his family. I'm happy for all of you.
