graduation

2010
My daughter and niece are graduating today-
My daughter from High School
and my niece from Middle School.
June is such an exciting time for students
who
are graduating and moving on
to exciting, new horizons.

When my daughter was born,
my father said he
hoped he would live long enough
to see
her graduate from High School.
Well, he missed it by two years...
but if I know my dad,
he has got
the
first and front row
seat in
HEAVEN
for both events!!
