Graduation
It's hard to believe that all of my kids have now graduated from high school. I guess a little bragging is in order. We attended a graduation ceremony for my youngest son last night. He has already completed two semesters of college by dual enrolling and plans to complete his AA degree in IT technology and then pursue a bachelor's degree in computer programming. My oldest son graduated four years ago, has completed an AA degree and is working to become a paramedic. His ultimate goal is to be a flight nurse. My daughter graduated eight years ago, is a registered nurse, has been married for nearly seven years and blessed us with our first grandson in March of this year. God blessed my wife and I with three great children and continues to bless us every single day. My daughter lives four and a half hours away, but came home for her brother's graduation. It is so good to have them all home again. I've heard other people say that they couldn't wait for their kids to leave home. My way of thinking is totally opposite of that. I love being around them and have never been in a hurry for them to leave. When my daughter left for college just after graduation my wife and I were both devastated. A little over a year later she was getting married and we knew she would never be back. Devastation all over again. But we learned to adjust and now we have a beautiful grandson that we get to spoil. We've had ups and downs like everyone else, but any time I get down I think about my kids and things look a little brighter. The Bible says that children are a blessing from the Lord and I can attest that mine have definitely blessed me. Last edited: Mon Jun 02, 2014 1:27 am This blog entry has been viewed 512 times

Congrats eg on all your children's accomplishments. It sounds like they are all truly doing well. congrats to on your 1st grandchild! I agree with you that hard as it is to let them go, the compensation is seeing them do well as adults, having their own lives, families, careers, children. It is always bittersweet, but the way it is supposed to be. You are indeed very fortunate. Login or register to leave a comment. |
