I returned from Oklahoma yesterday after one of the highlights of my life. I didn't realize how much I would miss my boys until they were off to college. I can't explain the feeling I had sitting in the Cotton Bowl watching my son run onto the field darning the Crimson and Cream of Oklahoma. The Red River Rivalry was on...I smiled as I watched his excitement on the field of competition. Wow...no, I really mean wow...
Oklahoma and Daniel entered the field number 1 in the nation. They left it number 4. Texas played a phenomenal game...later Daniel told me he had fogotten how badly it stung to lose. I laughed realizing that it had been a long time since he had experienced losing at just about anything.
Sunday, I was blessed by spending the whole day with my son. It was the first time I spent a day with him since he left June the 1st. His work outs are so demanding, the distance is so far and the time off is so limited, that we rarely get time together. What a privilege.
It reminded me afresh how important it is to enjoy every moment with your children. They will soon be gone. Though they may make you proud, you will never recoup the times you have if you don't share them together.
