Last Time for Everything Life moves on whether we like it or not, and Craig recently received a bittersweet reminder at his daughter’s graduation. You can read the full version of “Last Time for Everything” at FloridaEstatePlanning.com. Craig Reflects on Fond Memories
I love the energy of college campus, and despite qualifying for 55-plus housing, I still consider myself young. Looking in the mirror every morning
My daughter, Courtney, recently earned her doctorate degree in physical therapy from the University of Florida. As I watched the graduation proceedings with a lump in my throat, my mind wandered to Brad Paisley’s touching song, “Last Time for Everything.” Some of the lyrics go: Throwing the ball with the first dog you ever had/ Spending all day on the lake with your grandad/ Watching Glenn Frey sing “Already Gone” at the Forum in L.A./ There’s a last time for everything Walking around the Gainesville campus, I remembered many good times during my years there. The campus has changed considerably. The dilapidated houses students rented have become luxury mid-rise condominiums. The bars we frequented, including the one where I met Patti, are no more, replaced by cleaner, newer venues. Gleaming new buildings stand in the empty lots where my fraternity brothers and I played flag football. Using a fake ID at a college bar/ Getting caught with a girl in the backseat of a car/ Running out on the field for the senior game wearing number 17/ There’s a last time for everything
while brushing my teeth challenges that mindset. My oldest daughter will marry
her longtime fiancé this summer. I’m looking forward to the celebration and am excited for Gabi and Benji as they embark on their married lives together. Kissing goodbye on her porch and driving away/ Introducing her as your fiancé/ Getting woke up at 5 a.m. to see if Santa came/ There’s a last time for everything After graduation, Courtney and her boyfriend, Phil, scampered off to Atlanta while I drove home with my wife and youngest daughter. In a little more than a year, she plans to attend dental school, and I’m reminded that there’s a last time for everything.
