Son 2 is off to Marseilles
Son 2 came into our life with a smile. He waited till the jams were cooked and their lids tightly clamped on, for me to finish the lawn and then to quickly rinse the sweat off… 5 run-red lights and 25 minutes later, he was born bald and happy. He has given the family much joy.
Yesterday we brought our 19 year old to Marseilles where he will spend a year in the Spiritual Internship that Son 1 finished a year ago. If God allows it, next year in late summer he will start university in the USA.
We will see him again in November and December, and he’ll only be 320 minutes away (by car). Not far, I know, but a definite break. A part of growing up. And a part of being a parent too.

I’ll be joining that part of the “Parent Game” sooner than later. May God bless Son 2.

Lots of prayers for you, brother. All the times I WISH James would just…grow…up…I’ll remember that someday…he will.

Your family has entered a new chapter … but a wonderful chapter where you see the continuing fruit of your love as parents. I dreaded it from the front end of it all and have cherished it from this end of it all. God’s blessings on all of you!
