Parent highs.
Had a lovely thought provoking email from our friend Will in the US on Friday. I love to get his family chat emails, and have even saved some of the priceless emails he sent me when Ross was staying with Will & Michele after his time with Camp America .
Will said he was having what he called a 'Parent High' .....he had been asked by his son to go along with him to his former college where he was giving a career talk. Will had taken Ben to Thailand once on business and now he was joining his son on a similar 'journey'. (Had had to promise not to do the overtly proud Dad thing, but I'm sure body language would have said it all, and Will's big smile!)
I know exactly what he means about Parent Highs, sadly I guess by nature of the title you have to have some lows to appreciate the highs! But at least with 5 kids you can generally glean some high moments from amongst the less good!
Zac takes his driving test tomorrow and we're hoping all goes brilliant for him!
mmm, not so brilliant, he didn't pass, but built a bridge and is over that now.. waitning for next opportunity!
