I won't bore you with hundreds of photos of my eldest walking to receive her diploma.
But I might tell you how proud we are of her.
I do believe she was a little excited as well!
And that, yes, I did cry.
Big fat tears rolling down my cheeks as I soaked it all in:
the day, the weather, the back drop, smiles, friends, hugs, family, the accomplishments....
I'll tell you that she is one happy girl.
Oh, my word. These people are just the best.
I'll tell you that it was a TON of fun,
and that she isn't quite sure what the future holds....
proud dad..
But not many of us do.
What she does know is that she is loved.
A lot.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post!! That firstborn's graduation means so much, doesn't it? So happy for you! The weather looked fabulous and there were so many smiles all around! Leaving tomorrow for my baby's graduation. Friday he wants to look at apartments to live in as he has a job all lined up. Woohooo! And then... Sunday comes the waterworks as that is when the graduation ceremony is. So many changes but thankfully good ones.. very good ones!!

Congratulations to your graduate, Lynn!! She is so beautiful and looks so much like her mom. This is one of those times when we truly understand the concept of bittersweet, isn't it? I can't remember what her major is/was. What was it?
