This picture gives me mixed emotions.
I drive my son to school in the morning. I park on a nearby street so we can have a little walk together.
Great moment every morning.
Until recently, I’d walk him to the gate.
This week he asked me “Daddy, I wanna walk by myself today”.
He felt confident enough to do it. So I told him to go ahead.
At 7 years old, it probably gives him a nice boost of confidence.
But it’s true what they say.
One day, you’re going to do something with your kids for the last time and you won’t even know it.
They’ll ask you to play for the last time.
They’ll ask you to hold them up for the last time.
That’s why it’s so important to be grateful for every single moment. To be present and engaged in our children’s lives.
Because you don’t know. Maybe today will be the last time for something…
