I wasn't the only one blubbering...you were right...
I have to say that DS18 graduation last night was really nice. Weird thing happened too, which set me to again... My mom passed the fall of his junior year. She and my kids were so very close... Well, her favorite prayer/saying is the Irish one "May the Road Rise to Meet You". I even did this on a cross stitch for her. Anyway, would you believe, at the closing, the kid up there who was giving the closing recited that prayer!! So, I of course burst into tears...my DH can't understand why I am so upset, and I am too upset to tell him. When I told them all in the car after, it made my DS18 so happy as he felt his grandmother was there for him Just a sad and poignant moment from last night...just had to share....

That is so sweet. I can see why you would be crying. I am glad everything went well.

You're home already? Didn't you just go to the World? How was it?

I love that!!! That is so the perfect ending for the day.. That is just a hidden message to you and your DS that your mom was with both of you yesterday.. as she always is!!!

Wow, isn't that amazing how things happen. Did your son's school have a graduation party?

My DD is graduating today and I know I sure can't believe it. They have a all night party at the YMCA. Time sure moves on way to fast.

There was no School sponsored party, or any after party that he wanted to go to. He tried to con me and DH into letting him go to the beach for "Senior Week" with a group of his friends, and stay at our place without any parents....Oh Yeah....right....Like that was going to happen...

Anyway, we compromised, and DH is there with him and what was supposed to be 3 of his friends...OK, 4 teenage boys for senior week was fine, and he was able to "hang out" with his friends at the beach, which is what the whole thing is about anyway Then the word got out that DH was there, and it was a safe house, no drinking or drugs, like is at the "other" house. Now DH is being called "Scout Master Ed" , and he has...at last count...7 teenage boys , and who knows how many by Friday when this thing will be over ...DH has 1 rule...he needs a path to the coffee pot in the morning

I have to laugh, DS was ADAMANT that NO ONE would want parents around, but it seems that his friends are still happy that there is an adult around 'just incase" there is trouble and they need help... Guess DH and I aren't really "messing up senior week" as we were lead to believe. Especially because some of the parents weren't going to let their kids down unless there was an adult....
