TIME GOES TOO QUICK
It seems like yesterday that all the children graduating this year were just babies themselves. In many ways so many of them still are. They say each generation is getting younger and less ready for the world, I really think these guys need a few more years to be kids. I just can not see them as grown men and women. I still remember one of them in his mom's belly! He has grown up to be a good young man, still unsure of what he wants to do in life. So much like the other. This young man I only met one short year ago. It seems like a lifetime as I have watched him change and grow. He talks of being a marine and as amazing as that is it scares me to death. The third is a friends daughter who is vibrant and full of life. She was such a lost little soul just 2 short years ago. Now she will be joining the army and fighting for our country.
What happened to college and more time to grow and be a kid? The services is the only way most kids can afford college these days. What does it say about our country when we out price education to the extent that military service is almost the only option? One has already graduated and 2 more get their diplomas tomorrow. I will rejoice in the amazing young people they have become. I will surely shed a tear for what their future may hold.
