The Future Is Past

Aug 25 2009

Future Shop MonctonThe next step of our son’s journey to adulthood is done. He worked his last shift at his part time job yesterday.

He has spent the last two years with what I consider to be a very cool job for a kid his age. Two years ago he walked into Future Shop and dropped of an application. Within a couple of days he was their newest employee and also their youngest. He spent the next two years learning how to be responsible, prepared, and professional. He really had a hard time saying “so long” to his friends and colleagues down there, not to mention the employee discount!

This job helped pay his way through a European trip with his school, gave him spending money, gobs of gas money, Christmas money, helped him save for university, countless electronic gadgets and gizmos, and gave him an experience he’ll always remember.

In two days we hit the road to send him off to university. The adventure begins.

    OMG Steve…I choked up reading this. You make it sound so sad, and I’m sure it was for him leaving his co-workers and friends. On a brighter note, we are looking forward to seeing all of you when you come home.

    It was a little sad. These are the events of our lives and this one happened to be a little bittersweet.
