Principal's Blog: 5/5/23

Impactful: 

I was recently challenged with a potential personal circumstance that could have resulted in a major change in my and my immediate family member’s lives. Long story short, nothing really came of it and things are back to normal, at least for now. But, through this recent experience, I thought of something that I want to share with everyone. This particular situation I was challenged with involved my parents. Both of them are now in their 80’s and realistically maybe have 10-12 years left to live. My intention is not to be negative or morbid in sharing that thought with you, but again, to be realistic! As I was pondering this, I estimated that I see my parents somewhere around 6-8 times a year. This means that I will likely only see my parents 60-80 more times in my life. Initially, this hit me somewhat hard, of course. I guess I share this to provide some perspective on how little time we have with others. I think you can probably figure out the rest without me writing anything else this week.
