Restore the Roar

After much waiting and many phone calls, we finally got the long awaited letter from Towson University last week confirming my son's acceptance to the school.  My boy will be a Towson Tiger, heading there with our neighbor (his best friend) and several classmates past and present.  He wants to live on campus and experience all there is to learn about the life of a college student.  Our family is so proud of him and not one of us can believe that our "little" Brian is all grown up!  He's been everyone's "baby" for what seems like forever and now this "baby" has a mustache, goatee, muscles, a deep voice and an acceptance letter to college!

It's going to be a very difficult transition for this mom and dad, who have built the last nineteen years around our son, but we know that it's time for him to fly and, thank the good Lord, he's only flying 20 minutes away.  He will always be our Brian and I know that we have given him roots that grow deep and strong and he won't ever forget where he came from or where home is.  His room, his dog and his little brother will be waiting for him along with us whenever he wants to come home for the night or the weekend and holidays and summers will be all that much more special when he stays with us for longer stretches.  And, should he find that living away from home isn't quite what he thought, he knows that it's okay to commute.

Brian David, we are so proud of you!  I always say what a great kid you are, but the truth is, you are now a great man.  You are my masterpiece!  My prized possession!  Remember what you have been taught.  Keep making good decisions.  Work hard and have lots of fun.  Just make sure that you pick up the phone and keep us up to date on what's going on in your life.  You may not be living under our roof anymore, but you will always be nestled under our hearts.
