When you're having fun. Well, it was fun for me, anyway! I thought that the high school years went by quickly, but college went by in the blink of an eye.
Graduation day at Allegheny started off drizzly, then became stormy, so we were moved inside. And just before the recessional music started, the sun came out and many parents breathed a sigh of relief. Imagine trying to fit all of these people in the campus center! And this photo is just a small representation of the crowd on hand. People were streaming everywhere, but one special graduate was finding his way to his family...
 |
| The two students I love most in the whole wide world. |
 |
| One graduate with five very proud family members |
 |
| My son and an angel |
 |
| The Gator! |
 |
| We're so proud! |
 |
| That's my boy! |
And now all that's left is the moving. When I was driving away yesterday, I thought I'd be waving goodbye to Meadville for the last time....but no such luck. How can one young man have so much stuff? I've raised a pack rat. I thought he'd get better about it when he was in college, but my son seems to have earned a degree in Hoard-ology. So it looks like I'll be back on the road again later this week.
Congratulations to your son on his graduation. And congrats to you, a proud mom!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son (and the entire family) on his graduation.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is a pack rat too. He dislikes change of any kind and that includes not wanting to throw out old clothes, etc. He's totally the opposite of me.
Congratulations!!! I am sure you're bursting your buttons with pride. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the hoarders comment? I tell my daughter that she's going to end up on the TV show Hoarders if she continues on the path she's going. This for the child who says she has nothing...
