The month of May has been frantic in pace and it has only just begun. Today I returned from a 10-hour round trip to pick my son up from college for the summer and bring all of his belongings back to our garage.

Earlier this week my daughter performed in the high school’s spring concert where she won MVP for the choir and color guard for the junior class as well as letters in both activities. Tonight we are at her starring role performance of the Wiz where she will play Dorothy. We also will have two senior honor banquets for our other daughter, Baccalaureate and her graduation in a few weeks.

In addition, next weekend I will drive my son to Tennessee where he will be employed for the summer as summer camp counselor. Then we will round out the month with Project Graduation, my birthday, and a memorial day deep sea fishing trip to my Dad’s house on the coast. This month will no doubt be hectic, but as the moments we spend with our high school and college children wind down we need to savor these last few moments of their childhood. This is what life is all about! Enjoy!
