OK, so my baby, really my baby!! OK, so my baby is now 6'4" and 300 some odd pounds, but He's still my baby!! 6 pounds 3 ounces, 13 inches at birth just over 18 1/2 years ago!! Just graduated from High School!! I could have cried, OK I cried!! He gave me beautiful white tiger lillies during the ceremony!! He is such a wonderful young man and I couldn't be more proud!! Oh and yes I checked the Diploma for signatures and authenticity, because for a while there a few years ago, we really didn't think this would happen!! And in October he's going to college, to become a CHEF!! He's already a great cook, always coming up with new ideas and recipies, can't wait to turn him loose on the world!! OK, proud Momma!! Just really had to share it with all my wonderful dancer friends!!
Love ya all,
Michele
Love ya all,

Re: Graduation and New Beginings
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 3:42 PMCongratulations!!!! Give yourself two weeks for things to settle down, tears to stop, adjusting to the fact that life will never be the same, by then you'll just be happy for him. We can always use another excellant chef!!!
Another phase of life begins, and the surprises.....my son who struggled all the way thru school, mostly because it was hard to sit still, and why would he really want to know any of those things......is going back to college, that is after finishing one thing and now going towards another, you just never know! This time it's on his dime, always a good thing!
Now only three more to go!
Great news!
