What an amazing brain that my boy has ... he loves the black and white, right and wrong, yes or no of accounting and the all gray, maybe, what-if world of philosophy. No wonder Andy can do anything he puts his mind to! It sure will be fun watching the world open up to him and traveling along beside him as he explores the many opportunities that will come his way.
Willie: I'm not coming home for Fall Break. Oh really, why not? There's a Young Life Mens' Retreat at Rockbridge this weekend. Cool. Are you going to help with the retreat? No, Mom. I'm a man!
Willie is 19. My goodness. He is a man now. Not only that, but this young man is now also a JV basketball coach at a high school in Newport News! Willie has always been drawn to younger kids and it warms my heart so much to see him follow his passions. He will be an amazing coach. (Can a mom show up at a game to cheer on the coach?)
With Andy only a little over a month away from turning 21, I guess I need to come to terms with the fact that both of my boys are now men. While I miss the little guys running around in cowboy/ninja/army/pirate outfits, I am so very proud of the adults they have become.
Kayti: How nice it would be to win that much money. Yes, but the government gets a big part of it you know. They have to pay taxes on Lottery winnings? How much? About 30%. You're kidding? That's three times as much as God needs!
Ahhh, out of the mouths of babes! I never get tired of seeing the world through Kayti's eyes. Her brain moves faster than I thought humanly possible and her connections and segues simply fascinate me. One blip in daily life to the rest of us can bring to Kayti's mind a stream of music, lyrics, scripts, pictures and new ideas that will flow for hours. She makes me smile every day!
