Dinner |
My Blog inspiration book, Everything I Need to Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book ,reminds
us to “Let your children know you love
them.” That is just what I did on my recent visit to Purdue
University to see my son.
Reflection
Five loads at once! |
It was a long drive, ( 7 hours each way) for a few
hours together! When I got there I went into “mother” mode by
cleaning, stocking the refrigerator with
food, and doing laundry. I should have just hung out with him but it felt normal to do something for my son. Then
after dinner he said, “ If you don’t mind,
I would like to go out with my friends”.
I smiled, and then I had a
flash back to my college days and remembered that I did not want to spend that much time
with my parents either.

He seems older and more
mature each time that I see him. Even so, I will always say that prayer for protection, that he will make wise choices, and that good people will
continue to enter his path. On my ride home I started to reflect- “ we did not have enough time together.” I know it was enough time because his time is his own
now.
