With the celebration of Father’s Day this past Sunday, I reflected back on thirty years ago when I first became a father. While I didn’t panic at the thought of raising this newborn, I did wonder quite often if I was saying and doing the right thing.
I had a similar feeling years earlier when I conducted my first wedding at the age of twenty-two. After it was over, I thought, “Did I say the right words? Is this couple legally married?” Happy to report that after thirty-eight years, their marriage is still going strong.
After thirty years of parenting, the same can be said of our children. Somehow Leigh Anne and I brought three children into this world, and each of them is successfully carving out their adult journey.
