what happened along the way

What happened along the way?


I am a baby boomer . . . Why aren’t we living the American Dreams? Why aren’t we happy? I am you say . . . But then why are we always buying up every kind of junk imaginable? HDTV’s, CD Players, MP3’s, Ipods, Xboxes, and so many fads, from jeans to makeup, why?

Large houses we can’t clean. so many rooms no one has to be together anymore . . . And a T.V. in every room.

Jeff Foxworthy calls us Rednecks . . . We seem to like shiny things and NASCAR plates.

We seem to worship the money God . . . Believing the more we have the better we are. A homeless man with nothing, we turn our backs to and say he’s probably has a mansion or two, why? Those that aren’t so lucky we ridicule.

Because whatever desire, we struggle to acquire, our aloof brass ring is what we reach for and never to take our eyes off of. We watch and watch that ball, we watch it grow, we watch go. It consumes our every waking moments, it’s what we want, it’s what we learn to respect, it’s money, those with it, and the power it brings, the things it buys. We think its happiness.

And yet we’re not happy, why?

And one day they just surprise you . . . April 30 2007

And one day they just surprise you . . . April 30 2007



And one day they just surprise you, those babies of yours have all grown up and it’s time to move away. You’re not sure when it happened, but it seemed as if it were over night. Everything has changed. It was just yesterday, you and the wife we’re dreaming of the family you’d once have and now . . .



Your truth is not so straight and clear, not anymore. That’s the way life is . . . One day you’re being caressed and loved. The next you’re their guard and protector and then you’re alone once more.



Then something happens to let you know that everything’s going to be alright . . . For me it happened just a week ago. My oldest boy flew home to be by a friend’s side. His Dad had just died . . . That’s when I knew my boy, was a man. As parents we don’t get grades, but if we did, I now know . . . I did good.

Becase parents need to know . part 3

Because parents need to know . . .



Part 3 . . . . My Angel comes to me



And that night, I tossed and turned and couldn’t find my way to sleep . . . And when I finally rolled into slumber land, I dreamed . . . And you may not believe what I’m going to tell you now. But this is really the way it happened.



In a dream, I heard a voice and that voice said to me, my baby boy would be alright . . . I never doubted her words, for that was what I wanted to hear and my angel, she was my mom . . . I don’t know why? Mom had died several years before . . . And her words gave me the peace I needed to go on . . . To go through what was about to begin.



And I will never forget, her words, they were grace to me. “Don’t worry,” she said, “everything’s going to be alright.” And I remember sleeping like a baby the rest of that black night . . .



Because Parents Need To Know . . . Part 1



Because Parents Need To Know . . . Part 2
