All parents question themselves about how they raised their kids. I’ve said for a long time the question is not if you messed your kids up but how you messed them up. Thankfully most kids are resilient creatures and parents do enough good along with their occasional blunders that we they turn out OK. One of the best days in a parent’s life is when they hear their kids say something positive about their up bring. I got to experience this last week. Here is a Facebook post from my daughter who teaches English at Lone Star Jr. College.
Today was one of those days where I really needed to get something back to students, but couldn't stay awake to finish, so I set an alarm for 3:30am to get another hour of grading in before getting ready and jumping into the car for the commute.
It's days like this that I most miss the water. I remember long runs on the boat with Dad and Eric, hands sticky from a soda, skin hot from the sun, singing into the wind because no one but God could hear me. Moments like that feel really far away when I'm this tired and my day is so far from over, but it's good to know that the water is still there, patiently waiting for me to stop, rest, breathe, and maybe even sing again.
As a dad, I know I made plenty of mistakes but one thing I got right is I took my kids fishing. Pictures of kids here at Bay Flats Lodge always bring back those memories. Maybe you need to make some of those memories. Were here to help. Help you and your kids stop, rest, breath and maybe even sing.
