Senior Class of 2025

My son, who is my only child is a senior this year and we are only a few weeks out from graduation. It is the end of one part of his life and the beginning of another. It is also the end of one stage of parenting and the beginning of another. Seems like I just walked him into kindergarten on his first day. Time is a thief.

When our son graduated and we were driving him 200 miles to college, my wife cried the entire trip. She got over it, but I think it traumatized him. Now, years later, he works as an academic advisor at that same college. Who knows what lies ahead after high school?

@exexec I am so excited for everything he will do. He is a great kid, just a little bittersweet as all.
