"Tonight, my amazing son Khaleed will graduate from HS. God is Good!"
Yo!, I'm at a lost for words. When I think about the significance of tonights graduation, I get choked up. Why? Because I think about all of the years man, all moments, events, games and stuff. I keep thinking about all of the Daddy and Fatherly moments regarding my now 18 yrs old son, who was once my little 2 yr old ball of laughter, and use to be my 6 yr old little buddy. I keep thinking about all the little things that mattered, but now it seems like everything matters. I think about all the mistakes that I made because there's no practical and real guide book to being a Dad or a co-parent. I think about all of the love and grace that Khaleed has shown me regardless of my missteps. And I can't help but think about how much I love him too. I'm so honored to be his father. So honored to see all of his minor and major accomplishments, all of his growing pains and learning moments. All the awards and all of the band-aids. All of the spilled food and all of the sincere smiles. And now I get the privileged to see him walk across the stage tonight and step into a new phase of life. God is Good and I'm so grateful.
Man, I love my son so much, I really don't have the proper words to express myself. Thank God for this day.
