Leave it to my son...

Yet again Keith opens my eyes. As I have probably stated before he continues to teach us about who he is and how he learns. The past few weeks Keith has been showing us a more engaging, social side of him that we have not really seen. 
I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and although we may not know or understand the reasoning at the time, it works out for the best in the end. As parents we carry our children's struggles more than their accomplishments, this is as it should be, but it can make things very difficult at times. Last spring we had our son quit his job because we thought he was going to go to college and wanted him to focus on school more so we thought this was a sound diction, turns out we really could not afford the program at this college. Now he has no job and no school! You can imagine our frustration and guilt! It seemed we had made all kind of mistakes and allowed our excitement take over. 
Since than Keith has not been working and has not been very happy about sitting in his room. Now understand this is the child who usually wanted to just be in his room and focus on his movie ideas. He thought he could just go make a movie and be rich, that easy--even though we have had many very honest conversations about how difficult it is to be the next Steven 

Spielberg  I say all this because now he seems to have more of an understanding about how life works, now he just wants a job while he works on his movie ideas. I knew that it would take time, but even after all his 21 years, I still get so consumed with his current thinking or behavior that I forget that the day usually comes when he just gets it! 
Know that it is normal to get a little caught up sometimes, but it's okay. They will show you when they understand something new, and no matter the age the thrill of there accomplishments are always just as exciting! We are all learning our way through life, we should enjoy the education with our children. No one's life is meant to be like anyone else's, so enjoy the life you have, you may stumble, you may even fall, but as long as you don't give up your child won't either!
