Yeah! We made it. We have raised our last child, and he graduated from High School yesterday.The end of an era. The beginning of a new journey -- for him, for us. This is the first time in our 25 years of marriage (whenever he moves out)that we can say, we don't have any children at home now. They are all adults and living on their own.. What a concept.
The graduation was nice and they all looked so nice in their caps and gowns. I had family come out of town, and all of my kids were there. I got some good pictures of my kids, as well as my grandkids. It was just a nice family day -- long tiring, and because of the health issues I have, it was something that I just had to get through. But the kids all pitched in and help serve and clean up with the reception. The reception was small but nice. I would say there were 20-30 there, which -- cake wise :) was just the right amount. There were people there that I expected, but there were a few that surprised me being there. Yes, we sent them invitations/announcments, but still. One of them is a lady that we have been connecting lately with out health issues. She has cancer .. its not mesothelioma but I'm not sure what kind. All I know is that they went in and took alot of her intentine out awhile back. I dont' have cancer, but we are taking some of the same medicines, so its interesting to compare notes and such. She was a big help yesterday as well. Nice lady.
But now...the big day, the big weekend is over, and its time for us to get back to regular life, and for Ethan to step out in REAL life.
