Commencement and Celebration | The BridgeMaker

Posted: 23 May 2010 05:24 AM PDT

This month has been one of those times when so much has happened in a short period of time. Our younger son Andrew graduates from high school today. Soon it will be time for him to leave for college and experience the world on his terms.

Andrew, Mary Beth and me at Senior Night.

In the last three weeks, Andrew signed a baseball scholarship, completed his senior season and prepared for the last of his final exams. Mary Beth and I have enjoyed rooting for him and now celebrate a life that is waiting just for our son.

So, there hasn't been a lot of time for me to write new articles. But, my awesome guest contributors have kept it going and I appreciate them very much. I will be back soon enough. But for now, family, as always, comes first.

A parent's job is never really done. And even though today's graduation marks a significant milestone in Andrew's life, Mary Beth and I will always be his parents and he will always be our son, no matter what.

You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around – and why his parents will always wave back. – William D. Tammeus
