No more goodbyes posted by jwatson on Aug 20, 2012

This past weekend, we drove our son, Luke, to college in Nashville, TN. I have a new-found sensitivity to the thousands of parents who drop kids off at college campuses annually. I did not anticipate the sadness that overwhelmed me as we gave our final goodbyes. Maybe I’m just a sap! This will take me some time to process as now it seems life with Luke, who was a blessing to our family, could very well be a series of hellos and goodbyes from visits that are never long enough. If you do not already have enough motivation to share the gift of eternal life, I pray that Heaven, the place with no more goodbyes, would further motivate all of us.
