My oldest son, Travis, graduated from high school tonight. I'm so proud of him! He is the treasurer for his chapter of the National Honor Society, belongs to a school/community service club, has a 3.87 GPA, ranks 8th in his class, belongs to Big Brothers/Big Sisters and played football for three years and tennis for four. He jokes that his GPA would have been higher if he hadn't of played football! I think it's high enough and certainly a lot higher than mine ever was. He will be attending Michigan Technological University in the fall, studying chemistry or geology, or a combination of the two. He made it through high school!
I made it because I have been in remission from lymphome for the past three years and lived long enough to see him graduate. My first thought when I learned I had cancer was of seeing my boys graduate. Well, I made it for one. Now, I just have to make it for two more years, till my youngest son graduates.
What a wonderful, sad, heartbreaking, proud moment, seeing your children graduate from high school. I cried for most of it. Just bawled uncontrollably. I wasn't able to hide it well, because I was in the second row of the auditorium and my son was right in front of me. Oh well, who cares.
Life is wonderful tonight!
