But if you're a teenager, it's your life's mission to leave home. It's the time you find yourself, experiment, make mistakes and live to tell about them.
Was I surprised when Hunter took the job last year at Ohio State and decided not to come home for the summer? Not a bit. He was enjoying the freedom and fun that comes along with being on your own.
On that same note, I wasn't the least bit surprised when he told me that he was interviewing for a position here in Cincinnati for this upcoming summer. Being on your own is fun...for a while. I wasn't even surprised when he was the only Sophomore called back for a second interview. And when they called to offer him the position...still, not surprised or shocked.
Then he told me that he accepted it on the spot. And yes, I was shocked. Truthfully, I still can't believe he's coming home. 12 weeks. He'll be here for 12 whole weeks.
Congratulations, Hunter! We are so proud of you! Life takes you to unexpected places. Love brings you home.
