Letting go is hard. My husband and I spent this past weekend
helping Austin move into his apartment at the University of Michigan. It’s a
double edged sword that this young man really didn’t need us. Yes, I want to say
that he needed us every step of the way with the move, but honestly WE needed
him and this experience.
He is in for another year of such a special opportunity. Our hope is he heaps his plate with new academic, athletic, cultural and social offerings. During the next two years, life will mix youth, freedom, opportunity, and resources together in quite a remarkable combination. We want him to make the most of them all!
In the end, our job as parents is to make sure our kids are independent and happy. Well, Austin Carr, you have certainly accomplished this task and have made your parents extremely proud. Keep stepping out and showing the world just who you are.
To all our Bethke Elementary parents, please take time to enjoy all the steps your learners experience this year. All those steps add up to BIG lessons in the coming years; these years will go quickly, believe me.
