My son has just finished his senior year of high school and will walk down the aisle in a week. I could not be more happy and excited for him. I am glad to see him do so well with school and achieving so much more then I did at his age. I am also a bit sad that he will be going off to college and I won't see him as much anymore. I still have his brother for a few more years but realize that they will be moving on with their lives as I did but hopefuly not out of my life.

FIRST AND THE FOREMOST ~ Congrats to your son for his tertiary academic achievement and not less for you, as well, for being a good father to him. You have fostered and nurtured your son with your superb life management. Without your support and quality leadership in one family, he won't enjoy his academic learning up to this moment. SECOND GENERATION FUTURE BUILDING As nowadays, one's future life depends on how creative and innovative they create their own opportunities to luck into it. As it's totally different during our young age(now am 48-year-old). They must plan for what it's looks like and gonna be for their own long term "saving & investment" because they also will be 40th. in the next 20 years with their own family life. TWO (2) GENERATION LIFE SHARING Like what we shared our life cycle with our parents. The needs of financial instrument and the effective system of it, which is must be "true & through" for life happiness building ~ now and future. We no need to dictate our second generation for what is the "DO's and DON'Ts", because the current life situation offers them plenty of superb opportunity. The only thing is to discern them how important is life future planning, it justly like one good paint edify many viewers. MY APPRECIATION AND ADMIRATION Much thanks, bowtieguy; for sharing this good discussion with all of us on here. Your input does stimulate many aspirants. I wish your life be always much better in tomorrow's than today's, forever.

Hi there friend. Don't worry to much about them. They are your sons and they love you but you have to let them live their life. I will be finishing college this year as well. I am at my final exam session right now, and i will be ending them in june, and after that take my final exam in july (i think).

I know this is a bittersweet time for you. I cried when my first one graduated and then even harder when the last one graduated. I want the best for them, and want them to get the most out of life, but leaving that childhood stage and going into adulthood is still kind of sad.
