Be Present

This weekend, YHC took my oldest 2.0 to MTSU.  She’s is attending the Govenor’s School for the arts this summer.  She’s going to be gone for a total of 7 weeks.  She is our oldest and this is the first time she has ever been gone this long.  In many ways it’s prep for next year, she will be a senior in high school.  We had a great day getting her moved in.  We talked, laughed and enjoyed the time.  It wasn’t until I had to leave that it hit me…my role as her father is about to change.  My time with her in my home is passing.  It hit me harder than I could have ever expected, and in that moment I was so thankful to be there with her and for all the memories we shared together.  I’ll be honest, I wept most of the way home.  Not tears of sadness mixed with tears for pride and thankfulness.  I replayed all the times we hung out together, and mourned the times we didn’t.  It was a humbling time to realized just how important family truly is, and how irreplaceable our roles as dad truly are.  It may seem simple, but I also realized something else…you can’t cherish a memory you didn’t make.  The time to plant those seeds has gone.  Whatever relationship I get to enjoy with my kids as adults is sown while they are children.

I’m thankful beyond words for the men in my life who spoke life into me when I was a young dad.  The men who encouraged and exhorted me to be present with my kids while they were young.  We’ve all heard how fast time flies, but I think few of us realize how true it is.  And when it is gone, it’s gone.  There are no “redos” or “start overs.”  Each day is a gift and stewardship, and is connected to the days before it as well as those that come after.  Whenever you are with your family, be fully there!  Make the time, invest, plant the seeds.  I can honestly say I don’t regret a single thing I gave up to be with my daughter, and can testify that the fruit of those memories is the sweetest I’ve ever had.
