Grandson Zach came to live with us in April, 2017. He's been with us since. He is a good student, and kept his grades up, graduated with honors, and now is about to launch is college career. Today is move-in day at the dorms at Louisiana Tech, and Zach has scholarships, and today is the day we load the vehicles with whatever he needs for college and drop his skinny butt off in Ruston, LA>
Grandson Quinton was supposed to move with him, also to attend LA Tech, his National Guard unit was activated in support of the recovery effort for Hurricane Laura. He's crashing with us as well because his unit is 15 minutes away and staying at PawPaw's house is a whole lot more comfortable than staying in the barracks. Quinton will stay with us until his unit is relieved, then decide if he can salvage the semester, or wait until the next one. Quinton was also an honor student, and has scholarships pending, but his unit was activated, and he is a soldier.
So, after lunch, we'll make sure that Zach is safely ensconced in this dorm room. Belle is proud of Zach, and we've done everything we can to prepare him, but now it's time for him to launch. I"m sure that she will shed a tear, and now I'll have to find another kid to mow the back yard.
Best of luck to the both of them.
ReplyDeleteI really never understood the concept of maternal love until I had grandkids . Now we can get a handle on it just a little bit Pawpaw . I understand why the savior came through a woman and her love .
ReplyDeleteFrom all accounts, it sounds like youall have done well by them. They are properly-equipped to face the world, I believe.
