My oldest son spent several days with a buddy up at our lake house fishing and boating around, cooking the fish they had caught and just hanging out. I was really proud of his independence.
However, I’m not ready for him to be completely independent, yet.
I talked to him one afternoon to tell him his dad may come up. I wasn’t sure if he might think that his dad would be intruding. I shouldn’t have worried.
“Good! Dad would make it perfect, ” was his response.
What blessed parents we are to have a seventeen-year-old son who still wants us around. My heart is full.
FRONT PORCH FRIEND 
Your children are very special. Not just to you, but to others
who see their good qualities and see them as good examples.
Having had Locke and Meredith in my class, I have seen their strengths & forsee what they are capable of in the kingdom. God bless your special family.
