What Next?

I had one of those once in a life time experiences yesterday.  My older son came up to me and said dad tomorrow is the last day I will ever go to High School.  I though for something profound to say to him and could only come up with "congratulations, how do you feel about it?"  I think he saw if for what it is a new start on where his journey in life will take him.  He is looking forward to a trip to Cuba next week and starting out to go and work for a year before he goes to post secondary.

Endings and new beginnings are good for a person.  It gives a sense of accomplishment and the excitement of something new and  unknown.  It open up possibilities in ones mind.

As a father all I can do at this point is to hope his mother and I did all we could to give him the skills to go forth and become successful in the terms that are important to him. I know what I believe success to be but he will have to determine that on his own.
