Savoring

Our eldest son is preparing to leave for a distant College. He is ready, but adventures are more exciting for those who go than those who stay. My wife and I comfort ourselves with the truth that the experience will grow him, but there is a sadness. And not just for us—his younger brother has shared how much he will miss his best friend. As a family we have been more intentional about savoring our time together. Our best family memories are often recited. Focusing on the positive about the past and present gives us hope for a bright future.
