Really not worth crying over

Last evening we attended the open house for the county career high school.  Robert is most likely going to be attending there next year.  Overall, I think it is a good thing, but I do worry about the fact that he will have more independence...and experience has shown us so far that he can't handle that.  He is most interested in criminal justice, and has listed commercial art as his second choice.  I think criminal justice is a fabulous choice, and I hope that helps to keep him on that side of the law!  We had also talked to him about precision machining.  Employers in our area are begging for skilled machinists, and the trade schools can't churn them out fast enough.  When I worked with my dad, we sold the machines that these companies use.  Robert wanted to check out the class and as we walked in, my husband and I looked at the first machine and exclaimed, "Oh, Milltronics!"  We were the number 1 distributor in America of those machines when I worked with my dad.  I recognized every single brand of machine and was explaining the difference between manual and CNC.  My first thought was that I couldn't wait to call Dad and tell him, and then I had to fight tears.  For one brief second I was so connected to Dad again, and I really, really miss that man.
