John Graduated! ♥

Hello Friends! 




It's hard for me to put into words what I felt that day.  I was overjoyed for John.  It was such an achievement and happy occasion for everyone.  As I sat in the bleachers watching my only son walk with his classmates (402 of them!) while the music played, the last 17 years flashed before my eyes.  It all happened so fast.  I am so proud of him! I was on the edge of crying the entire time...happy tears of course...some a little sad. It's really happening. 

*Also, does Pomp & Circumstance give anyone else chills? That song is so emotional!*

He was SO Happy! It was a beautiful ceremony.  And the best part was John got to play with the band one final time.  He's played at graduation for the last 3 years and this year he got to play for himself.  How cool is that 




Afterwards we went home and celebrated with family and friends.  We ate, told stories, laughed, and it was wonderful.  I thought about my mom a lot. I wished so badly she was there with us.  And my Dad, who unfortunately was in the hospital.  He's still there battling a few things but thankfully getting better and hopefully coming home soon.  (More on that later)  

 

For now I'd like to say Congratulations to John.  You did it!!! I know you'll do great things! On to the next chapter! We love you soooo much! 

And now that that's over, I'll be back to my regular scheduled program of coffee, candles, and cozy posts.  It's almost summer! 

Happy days my friends! And thank you for all your kind messages and congratulations to John!  

He read them all! Xx 

I'll be back soon with an update on Dad
