Monday Musings – One Very Proud Father

I can’t really think of a better way to spend my Memorial Day Weekend than with my family. Its even more special when you include high school graduation. Peter, our middle child, graduated from The Taft School this weekend and is on his way to Williams College in the fall.

Peter was very fortunate to make some great friends while at Taft. 3 in particular we now consider part of our extended family. Like Peter, those boys also made the decision of leaving home early and attending prep school so that they could realize their dream of playing NCAA Hockey. While it is a very difficult thing for parents to let go, its even more difficult to do when it happens 3 years early!

I know its a cliche but its true. Enjoy every day with your children. The time goes by really fast.
