Interrupted
BOTH interrupted. Yesterday's sunset at the Fox River interrupted by clouds. My son Henry's senior year of high school interrupted by a worldwide health crisis.
Of course there will be other days with spectacular sunsets as there are brighter things ahead for Henry. He has taken it in stride and has a good attitude about it. Reflective, I guess, of the mindset of he and his peers, born into a world where things happen close to home (Henry was born just a few days before 9-11). The sad fact is that Henry’s world is much less care-free than the world I knew at his age.
He has let his whiskers grow during this time schooling remotely from home – a badge he wears from the experience.
Henry recently committed to the University of Minnesota at Duluth for Fall 2020 (good Lord willin') where he will enter as a Biochemistry major in the honors program with plans to declare a second major (English) as he is able to in his first year.
Go get ‘em, kid. Tune out the noise, overcome interruptions and make a splash.
