Happy Mother's Day!
Today was bittersweet in some ways for me. This was the first time in 27 years, neither Nathan or Jared were living here.
Two weeks ago, I told you that Dwayne had gotten his driver's license reinstated. He has been driving quite a bit, even solo twice. He is doing very well. The latest for him is that he got a release from the doctor to return to work the beginning of June.
Two weeks ago, Jared was called back for a second interview for a company in Monterey. He really wanted to stay in the area, since there are more opportunities in the marine science field there. He found out on Monday that he got the job! In this economy to be able to get a job in the field he has wanted to go into since he was 13 years old. Yesterday, he found a place to live in the area. We will be going up next week for his graduation!
Many years ago when Nathan was just a toddler, my wise friend Pat, whose children were grown, told me "As a mom, your responsibility is to work yourself out of a job." I have never forgotten that. The sweetness is seeing Nathan and Jared becoming responsible, godly men. I am proud of them both.
It's so true. We raise them to do and be what they are and is breaks our hearts to let them go, while our hearts sing with joy over their success, and character. Happy Mother's Day.
