Parenting Payback: Eagle Court of Honor

This is what every parent wishes for, waits for, and prays for: completion of a child's major accomplishment. Tonight was the crowning celebration for Spencer as he received his Eagle Award in Scouting.

I admit to celebrating early when the paperwork was completed; this was just icing on the cake. A big thanks to all the men who have helped him on his journey of growth and discovery. I so appreciate their sacrifices of time and their dedication to my son and his scout troop. I firmly believe this is a life altering accomplishment.

He was confident as he shared the details of  his project. He chose Organ Donation Awareness and shared information and flyers at the local college tailgating party prior to the game.

I join him in urging everyone to consider organ donation. That selfless gift can save several lives. Talk with your family, explore the possibilities. Make sure they know what your wishes are. Then if, God forbid, the unthinkable happens to your loved one, your heart and mind will be in the right place to offer that life saving gift. It can bring something good out of a tragedy. Do it today! And if you have any questions, I am happy to share more details.

As a special added bonus, we took a family photo. All you moms out there will appreciate the the scarcity of this opportunity.

Like I said, this was definitely a payback day.
