Back to real life

My daughter did very well in her role in the school musical…

My son went undefeated and won the league championships in wrestling…

And grandparents from both sides of the family were here to see it and had a great time…

So why do I feel like such a loser today?

It must be an emotional letdown.

I even wondered why I am writing this blog? I mean, who really cares about my life? Why am I wasting my time? They don’t call these things vanity blogs for no reason.

I actually remembered why I am writing this blog. First, it is a record of our life together. Second, I have wanted to write for over a decade and this is a good beginning. Third, perhaps it will encourage and entertain those who read it.

I actually am glad for unexpected introspection. I needed to get grounded again. While my children did perform well, they didn’t cure cancer. All across the country, there are countless other parents whose children did similar things. So, it’s great that they did well but really…it’s not that big of a deal.

I’m back to normal. Back to real life…
