A Rising Son

Monday I went up to see my son Chance at college, a visit long overdue, it reminded me of the song Cats in the Cradle, he has grown up and is a busy man. Scheduling work, classes and time for fun isn’t easy, just as hard as deadlines and flights. He spent the summer driving an ice cream truck and delivering pizza, he is a very patient fellow. His infectious smile made it a very pleasant time and hearing stories of a young man’s college days brought back some memories of my own. I find I learn a lot more about his life when just chilling and not asking too many questions. Most pleasing to me his continued desire to join the Peace Corps after school, he has the travel bug! Wonder where he got that.
