Back in Murray

Posted 12 hours ago

A little over two weeks ago, I posted about being in Murray, Kentucky and reflected on the many trips I have made here in the past four years. I had come up to see a basketball game with my son and spend the afternoon with him.

In the post, I mentioned that trip was probably one of the last I would make here. At the time, I mentioned we had two more trips planned: one in April for my son’s senior art show and one in May for his graduation.

I made an unexpected trip up here today for a student art show that he is part of. And he is receiving two different awards for a few of his entries. There are not many opportunities like this left for him so I wanted to be apart of it. I have actually wanted to come to this art show in the past but it had not worked out.

I am so glad I decided to make the trip so I can be part of his special night. You need to grab these opportunities when you can. Kids grow up too fast and then they are off on their own. Soon he will graduate from college and make his way in the world. Our youngest will be off to a four year school after graduating with her associates degree from Chattanooga State in May.

Carpe diem. Seize the day.
