I skipped an day (yesterday) because my son "graduated" from eight grade last night. It was a wonderful night, filled with joy for all he and his classmates had accomplished. Since I have known many of his mates since preschool, it was wonderful to watch them cross the stage as teenagers, walking towards their futures with sweetly innocent and excited faces.
Jeffrey received a Presidential Scholar award for academics. I am so very proud of him, he is a wonderful kid with a good head on his shoulders. I think he is going to have a blast at the high school, even with me in the building!
Lily has finished up at the elementary school today, it was a bittersweet moment (for me) when I picked her up after school, as I will no longer be driving to that school. We have moved on, but a tiny bit of me is sad...the passage of time and all.
Here's to summer and progress!
