Feeling a little reflective today,
and I was thinking back at the past 23 years of my life and wondering if I
would do things differently. Coming out of High School, I had big plans and a
full ride scholarship. Then along came a handsome man with big plans of his own
and I put my plans aside to follow his dreams. Kids came sooner than planned,
and life got crazy.
College, traveling, and seeing the world took a backseat to stretch marks, diapers, and sleepless nights. Next came little league, preschool, and Cub Scouts. Then braces, comp teams, and spending days on end as the Taxi mom. High School teams, Proms and Homecomings, driving, dating, and graduations followed. Interspersed throughout were hugs and kisses, notes to mom, heartache and pain, injuries and illnesses, prayers and pleadings. Now they are all men and pursuing their own careers, degrees, and futures. Would I trade any of it now for the for the playing, college, and traveling?
Not for the world.
