Our oldest son graduated high school last month. I have to tell you, i was sooooooooooo on pins and needles. I have the greatest son on earth! however he is totally on planet (original). he is so very nonchalant about everything. toward the end of senior year, he started completely falling off the gravy train... didn't care about school in any regard (mind you, this has always been a struggle with him, but he waited to the last few months to totally wig out) i just want to thank God for loving me enough to push him through, by any means necessary! (literally)
of course me being mom, had all these grand ideas about how this day would be, and go... needless to say, this was his day, done his way!!!! and looking back at it all, I'm glad my hubby didn't allow me to run the show. after all..... this was not my day...
tony was a disappointed in himself for not doing his best, but as we tried to point out... "dude, you did it!" sometimes we have to just be ok with the fact that we made it through. so he opted to have a small get together. in our small place it turned more into a HUGE get together with people bursting out the seams!!! It was so touching to see everyone that loves us and our children come out and support. there were the great grandparents of course (that we didn't allow to purchase plane tickets and come all this way) but they were there even still in the midst of the conversation and celebration.
my wish for our son is that his life be full of joy, that he uses this small step as a staircase to the door to unlock his dreams.
I couldn't be more proud!
