Just trying to stay on the board

My wife read the blog last night. She said she liked it but I could hear a “but” in her voice.

When I inquired further, she said “It’s just that most of the recent posts are all about our son.”

I have been thinking about that myself…

But, that is what is happening in our home. Wrestling, choosing a college, recruiting, SAT/ACT tests, etc. It has been like surfing. This big wave suddenly has suddenly caught us and thrown us forward and we are just trying to stay on the board to completely enjoy the ride.

The toughest part will be when the wave ends. That time will arrive very quickly. In all likelihood, he will leave to go to college and this young man whom we love will no longer be around to incessantly maul and us ask for hugs.

At that point, we will have to pick up the board and swim back out to catch the next ride.
