Today is a day of celebration. Many parents are hailing the end of another school year while others are swollen with pride in regards to their graduating seniors. Last year at this time I was one of those parents. A year has come and gone so fast, life goes on for not only you as a parent but even more so for you child chomping at the bit to be a free young adult. Talk turns to college, when they leave, what major are they studying, are they excited to move forward living and learning on their own? It is a wonderful time for all. To that I say cherish today, every second! It really is a gift from God. Cherish the eye rolls, the hugs, the smiles, and silly photographs! Cherish the fact your child made it. Cover them in love, remind them how much you love them, and over the next month before they pack up their rooms to move on with their lives tell them you love them again! Then remind yourself it will all be ok when they are gone. You know why? Because they come home just a little more grown up, a little wiser, a little more thankful for all you provided, but most of all. They will come home, because there is no love like that of a family.
