Tomorrow, as we close a long chapter on our lives, I can’t help but wonder what did we forget?
Tomorrow, she graduates from High School. Did we remember to teach her to:
- Wear your seat belt
- Make good choices
- Park in a safe parking lot/area
- Get a lot of rest before an important exam
- Look both ways before you turn/cross the street
- Brush your teeth
- Take your vitamins
- Drink lots of water
- Remember Father’s and Mother’s Day and your sibling’s birthdays
- Come home for holidays, bring friends – there’s always room for one or two more
- Look out for a friend who needs help
- Call, text or write every so often
- Have fun
- Remember that this moment will pass, good, bad or meaningless – remember the good things, and the bad (so you don’t repeat mistakes)
- Take pictures…and share them with others
- Know that you will think you’re in love and you might be, but it may not last forever…
- Tomorrow is another day
- Be nice, kind and caring – to others and yourself
What did we forget is easy to ask, but oh, my goodness, isn’t there a lot that we have taught her? We just have to trust that she knows the things she needs to know.
