You've obviously instilled a great sense of compassion and caring in your children.shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299129399707488442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-7454946999872429332010-06-23T08:43:00.648-05:002010-06-23T08:43:00.648-05:00Life does go on and from my experiences life gets ...Life does go on and from my experiences life gets better and better.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008396924509183578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-62618911444353394062010-06-23T07:20:30.844-05:002010-06-23T07:20:30.844-05:00What a wonderful tradition and it sounds like the ...What a wonderful tradition and it sounds like the perfect person was there to help Dianna commemorate it. <br /><br />I'm nowhere near the milestone you ladies have reached, but have felt a teensy bit of what you felt the first time I watched my girls do a performance for their school. Tugged at my heart big time. <br /><br />Time rushes on, we fumble as best we can and hopefully get to laugh a lot and love a lot along the way. You've raised adorable children into extremely capable wonderful adults, keeping your humor intact. THAT is an awesome achievement and one to be very proud of!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183514983955004655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-22088590830437215242010-06-23T06:02:35.966-05:002010-06-23T06:02:35.966-05:00What a great ceremony!

Good ol' Uncle Bill and his uncanny ability with gadgets, widgets, and whatzits. His enthusiasm is so pure and child-like!<br /><br />Second, at one point after the graduation I became separated from Lee, Robert and Barb, and Robert told me what he was thinking: "Oh, no! It's happening again!" - an allusion to Barb getting separated from us in Rome.<br /><br />We had a good laugh about it, but I guess in a small corner of my mind I was also thinking that some day I might really be giving my family something to worry over. Nothing makes you think about aging like watching our children reach another milestone. I felt a twinge of what you are describing when David graduated high school. I imagine the feeling will be much more intense when he finishes college. <br /><br />Byron once wrote: "All tragedies are ended by a death, all comedies are ended by a marriage . . . " Well, in time all good comedies also end in death. C'est la vie! But how much do we laugh until the curtain closes? That's what will define the play.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051950012579346329noreply@blogger.com
