My Son at Seventeen

eli_at_17_smlMy son Eli turned 17 this last Friday. 

He has two more years of high school left (had a redux of kindergarten).  He’s thinking about going into the military after graduation.  I told him he’ll have to get a haircut. 

It seems like only yesterday when he was 4 year-old when I and his mother split up.  He’s had ups and downs like many of us, but he’s turning out pretty good.  I wish his grades were better, but he’s very intelligent.  I wish he had a job, but he’s thrifty with the money he has (if your goal is buying a lot of cheetos, which it is).  I wish he’d even get a hair cut, but not really. 

Soon he’ll be on his way with his life.  I’ll miss him.  He’s grown too fast.
