Big Days Ahead

This coming school year has been weighing on my mind and my heart. Caleb will enter the sixth grade and Zachary will begin Kindergarten. I am full of so many different emotions for both of them. I am excited for the new frontiers they will venture out into and I worry about the peer pressures and difficult decisions they will both face.

It seems like time has blown by. I can remember holding them both as babies like it was yesterday. Everyday they need me a little less and less. I hope that I have been a good example and I hope that Chaz and I have provided them with the right guidance tools for success.

I know they'll each still need to cry on my shoulder. I am excited for my boys and I can't wait to share all of these new experiences. I pray that God watches over them and helps to keep them on the path that will lead them to success, joy and confidence.

Caleb and Zachary, I love you both more than I think I could ever show. Be good sons, brothers and friends. Be helpful to your neighbors. Stick up for the unpopular and never feel shame for making the right decision.
