I have learned that I sent my 18 yr old boy to college and today he is a 21 yr old man.
Example: Last week he had his first game and it was not an all-star performance.......dad(me) went to the game and so wanted him to have a great first outing(pitcher)and I was feeling bad for him and as well as me....as it turns out more me.
I resist the urge to call and the next day he calls me.......I am ready to offer encouraging words but to my surprise he is excited and wants to share with me about the tax tip he just got from his finance class. It was a great tip and I will use it on my business return and night before's game was barely mentioned expect for the fact that he is already forgot about and is ready to work on his approach for the next game.
I sure wish I could be more like my son.....kids have a much better perspective than we give them credit for......that's what I have learned.
