Kids grow up, it is what we want to happen. We want them to grow up, follow their dreams and take over the world.
We have driven to one university to switch our cars and a 15 minute car ride to see our eldest. We have gone to other states just to maybe see them for 5 minutes at dinner or in between games. This weekend, we are once again in a different state just to see one of the kids from afar. I know he is less than a mile away, yet I also know that we will only see him from afar as he does what he does.
See, the point is it doesn't matter. What matters is that we have a village here with us. And they have theirs. We are sharing in a new adventure, while the kids are experiencing theirs. Sometimes, the adventures take place in the same city, how lucky is that, and sometimes, you get 15 minutes just to say hi. Sometimes, they are in different states or countries. Either way, it's about having the adventure and supporting them in theirs.
It's the journey, not the destination. Sometimes the journey is all about the 15 minutes.
