Turning 18 Is This Serious?
So at 2 minutes til midnight last night (11:58 pacific time), my son turned 18. Never has something so simple seemed so complex. He’s always been a serious child, now I watched as he felt as if the weight of the world had descended on his shoulders.
It wasn’t that long ago, when turning 18 means more joy and freedom. I can understand actually where he’s coming from… turning 18 in this economic conditions has got to be if not fear-filled at least an anxious time for many growing up “kids.”
He didn’t mind, so I’m helping celebrate this big event with/for him. Until Sunday night, May 9th, you’ll find a special surprise if you click here. If you come late to read, and the page is gone…. sorry!
Happy Birthday Sean – may you truly and uniquely enjoy being an adult!

Yeah my niece turned 18 a few weeks ago. It’s such a great age full of possibility even if times are tough. Hope he had a good one!
