Pomp, Circumstance, and Changes

Life continues on in its frenetic pace.  Changes come, and life changes to adapt.

Big changes are in store for our son Ben.

Friday, May 21st, he graduates as valedictorian of his high school class.  We are SO proud of him!!!

Then on Saturday, May 29th, he reports for duty at the Wilds Christian Camp in North Carolina, where he will spend the summer washing countless dishes, forks, spoons, knives, bowls, trays, and probably a few fellow workers.

Changes.  Another one leaves the nest, embarking on the next phase of the adventure of life.

Changes.  The first “real” job away from family.

Changes.  The beginning of life away from the protective umbrella called “Mommy”.

Changes.  The onset of the daily grind.

Changes.  Except in the pride that parents feel for a child who has succeeded so far, and has much promise of a wonderful future, just like his older siblings.  No changes there.  Ever.  No matter what.

We love you, Ben, and we are VERY proud!  Do well!
