My Woo Woo Is Growing Up!

It is almost impossible to believe, but my oldest as I type this has been at her senior prom nearly an hour. Last night I scanned over one hundred pictures of her from birth to present. It was a great trip down memory lane. I sat at her last band concert and nearly every song she played in I wept. I just can't believe it. People said that it would get here before I knew it, and now I know how true that is. Life truly is a vapor that appears for a short time and then is gone.

To this day I still tuck her in every night and pray with her as I do my other three. She still hugs me in public. She is never ashamed to call me dad and hardly ever makes fun of me for my stupid jokes. She has uncertain thoughts about the future. She still wants to know what I think about things. She respects me and we have a wonderful relationship. What more could a dad ask for?

Two weeks from yesterday is her graduation day. She will begin a new chapter in her life. I look forward to what God has in store for her in her lifetime. I only hope that I live long enough to see that outcome.

The Word says, (Psalms 127:4-5 NCV) "Children who are born to a young man are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. {5} Happy is the man who has his bag full of arrows...." Thank you Father for my family!!

  • Keith, been through it twice, one more to go - it doesn't get any easier (although the prospect of an empty nest after the last one leaves does have its silver lining...) Hope you survive.

  • The concert was, in my humble opinion, the best they ever performed. The music was interesting--even emotional at times. Somtimes concert band can be boring, especially to a drummer, but this was not. Danielle played clarinet and Brandon performed in the middle school concert band and then did a "preview" performance of the new marching cadence for next year. He plays tenors in the drumline.

    So all in all, it was an interesting, emotional, sad, happy, bitter sweet night!!

  • My niece is graduating and on her way to ACU soon. And I'm getting all emotional about that! Thank goodness my son is five and shows no signs of growing up.

  • BTW guys you'll please remember Danielle in your prayers today. From what I understood she had a tough day. Love all you guys.

  • It is fun to see them grow up. But it does bring out lots of nostalgia. I am thrilled to know that your daughter's faith is vibrant, and that she doesn't make fun of your jokes too often.
