GRADUATION TIME!

I'll admit when Pomp and Circumstance started playing and the graduates began their slow march into the venue, I got a few tears in my eyes. Right away I could spot my niece and nephew looking so sweet in their crisp caps and gowns. I'm just the auntie and I was so happy and emotional for them. After all, I do remember the day they were born and I did change a diaper or two.... I looked over at their parents and I could see the proud look in their eyes. I thought back to my graduation umpteen years ago and I do remember the excitement you feel as a graduate. This was a nice ceremony, eloquent (and short) speeches by the Class President and Principal and the graduates were all in tune, clapping for one another and of course tossed around was the inflatable beach ball nixed quickly by a faculty member. I am so excited for my niece and nephew as they start a new time in their lives. These kids are awesome. If you have a graduation to attend this year, make it special, soak it all in. Take lots of pictures!  For sure it's a time of celebration for the graduate.  I'm a sentimental type of person...This IS truly what life is about seeing those that you love pass another milestone in life and carry out something great!
