Azazello1313 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I feel lost in a time trap here. I remember this post when it went up, but if you asked me when it was I would have said this past September. Time marches while you aren't paying attention... man, no kidding. makes you realize how many years some of us have put in here and how f'n old we're all getting congrats to you and yours on the milestone, driveby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprofessor Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Great post. I share those same feelings and even though my children are in their mid 20's I still see a lot of them. I went through a messy divorce when my children were 10 and 12 and I fought for them and won full custody. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to be a "weekend" Dad? I was always very involved in their lives and coached both of them in baseball and basketball. Now, I have my 2 grandsons living with me and I am doing everything possible to give them my time and be there so they feel loved and stable. The greatest gift we receive in life is the gift of children. Driveby is right ...... cherish the time you have with your family. In the end, nothing else really matters.

Grits and Shins Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Congrats. In 4 short weeks my oldest graduates from HS but won't head off to college until the summer is over ... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) With one offspring at college and the other in the Marines, the empty nest feeling lasts quite a while. One of the best things is visiting, which I did to my daughter in Madison yesterday. My son was home a couple weeks ago too. Good luck to ya but it sounds to me like you've done the best job you possibly could and you have a right to be proud. My only daughter graduated from college about a year ago now and Madison is where she moved to. But she was transfered to Baraboo and only lived in Madison for a short time. My youngest son will graduate from HS this month. As luck would have it, he's going to U of M Rochester and that is lliterally across the street from where I work.
