My two eldest boys

I am finding myself going through a new lesson in life. My two eldest boys are growing up into men. They'll be 18 & 19 this month and I am so very proud of them both. Life flies by so fast, one minute they're babies and I was bouncing them on my knee and now they're young men.

I sort of feel like I am loosing them, as they get older and want to and need to live their own lives. In another sense I am so proud of watching them grow up into fine young men. It sort of feels like my heart is bursting and can't hold all the love I have inside for them, so it is bursting and radiating out of me. Part of me is happy and part of me is so sad. But mostly I am so very very proud. I'm feeling so sentimental tonight.

A Levels Exam Results

Both my two eldest boys had to pick up their A level exam results yesterday.
Alex whose 18, has just left college and passed his A level results and has now been accepted into University. He's going to attend the Greenwich University and study Computing and Games Software.

Jim whose 17, failed his A level results, and is going to re-take his studies at college. He's going to re-study P.E & Biology. He is keeping the option open to be a Fire fighter. I hope this is a dream he creates. But he's not 100% sure what he wants to do yet.

I think they're both lucky to have this opportunity to go to college and Uni. If I knew what I know now back then, I would have done the same.
