This week has been very busy and exciting in my household with two graduations. My son completing 6th grade, my daughter high school. Although I said I wouldn't be emotional, I am. With friends and family accompanying us to both the ceremonies and the after parties, one cannot help but reflect. The good, the bad, the ugly...they made it...we made it.
In the book of life, they have been great chapters. Happy, healthy kids looking forward to the future. How very wonderful...
To all the graduates and their families, Congratulations and enjoy!
