Lots of laughter was had at this years matric dance at Westerford High school. Class of 2018. Matric dance; mocks and then finals and ......An then it is all over. Many a parent has walked this pathway before me and these are not unique emotions but I need to write them out, so to speak. The first child is always the first of the lasts to experience all those last experiences. We are proud of and privileged to be the parents of this young man. He is not perfect but he is great and we love him. He has enjoyed his years at high school and flourished under the awesome influence and care of great staff and peers. It has been a good journey. A growing journey and a healthy learning experience for him and so also for us. He has really accomplished much and been honoured for these. Well done Chap.
We say goodbye to high school for him with full and sad hearts. It is time and yet it is also the launching off in to world of the unexpected and the uncertain. We send him out and off with our continual support and love and of course with his Great God steering and motivating. His launchin , in many ways , comes at the right time ( of course) but it also seems like it has come too soon. There are all the, " I never said that" or "Did we do that well enough?" It seems as if we could have and should have done more...... and yet, despite our failings, God is at work and he has not dropped the ball, not once. Where we have failed, He is perfect. This truth gives such peace , freedom and joy.
Our job in part, is complete and our work as his parents has changed .It will continue to change as he steps out and continues to study. We are so grateful for the experiences in music and hockey that our school offered and he took up. We are enormously thankful for the many friends and families from our school and the experiences from camps to overseas journeys that have all shaped and prodded; provoked and encouraged in a myriad of ways. We could really not have asked for a better High school journey. Thank you Lord!
