18

So as of April 9th I became the father of an adult.  It is kind of surreal.  Pam and I used to think 10 years from now our kids will be 18, 17, 16, 16.  Now that it is here it is a little weird.  Slowly we are learning to let go of the teenage parenting and starting to understand what parenting an adult will be like.  One, communication will be more like friends talking or mentor-ship   Two, dealing with them making mistakes that you saw coming a mile away but they wouldn't listen.  Three, enjoying the freedom.  Four, enjoying our girls becoming successful, Jesus filled adults.  We of course are still learning ourselves so in another ten years I might change this statement(wow, Pam and I are now rookies again). But until then, let us lift up a glass of water(I am out of white grape juice).   Here's to becoming parents to adults.
