Bob and I have reached and passed many milestones in our lives. You can plan some milestones and look forward to them. Time moves slowly when you have to sit back and wait for an occasion or date to finally arrive. Other milestones sneak up on you!
On Aug.1st we met an event in our lives that snuck up on us. We knew it was going to happen. Our son Scott joined the ranks of being a RETIRED person.
Where did the years go? Our son who we saw go off to school, play Tball, learned to skate on a pond, went fishing with his Aku and then the years whipped by and he was buying his first car.
We observed all these growing up years, first dates, first jobs, first girl friends.
It seemed no time at all, we weren't counting the years, when he became engaged, married and gave us 2 grandsons.
Now, we have to face the fact that he will be 50 on his next birthday and we are the parents of a retiree. How did this happen? We can't be this old, can we?
Face it Bob and Helen! Life slips along while you are not sitting in a rocking chair and wondering what you will do today or tomorrow.
To Scott we say," Son, we hope that your retirement years bring you all the adventures and happiness that we are experiencing."
