It is June. Chance has had a busy few weeks as he has prepared to graduate from high school. I can not believe that he is old enough to graduate from anything. It really does seem like just yesterday he was a skinny little kid standing up front of the classroom with his preschool classmates singing a song.
Every time Chance did an action, his shirt would rise up and you could see his tummy. I thought to myself, "Who is that child's mother and why doesn't she give him shirts that are long enough to cover his belly?"
Little did I know that that moment in preschool was the start of a challenge that would last throughout Chance's childhood and young adult hood. Many of Chance's shirts would rise up when he lifted his arms because he was destined to be tall. The shirts may fit just right everywhere else, but the length could be a problem. Although the shirts were better than trying to find pants that fit and were long enough. The boy is just long and lengthy.
He is still hard to find pants for although the shirt issue can be resolved by buying a men's medium shirt instead of a small.
Chance's school soccer team made it to the state quarter finals this year. It was the first time the school had gotten that far and a perfect ending to Chance's senior year.
I am going to miss watching Chance play soccer on the high school team. Not as much as he is going to miss playing on the high school team though. Chance and his friend on the team were having a discussion about how it is really over. All of those practices and bus rides to other cities to play games is officially over.
It's an ending to a major part of Chance's life. Graduating from high school does that.......it ends what you have known for years and sets you up to head off into a future that is waiting with adventure and the unknown.
Here is a look back at some of the soccer games this year:
