It's that time again--Graduation. It's been a long while since I have been to a graduation - 2005 was the last time I believe. It's been even a longer time since I graduated but we won't go there.
Graduation is a sweet yet scary time. A time for new beginnings, new relationships, and new promises. As we say so long to our former classmates and head down life's pathway, we can't imagine anything more important than graduating. We can't imagine that we will ever forget the names of our classmates. Yet 5 years pass by, then another, and we may be surprised to realize that we have drawn a blank to some of our teachers' and classmates' names.
What will not be forgotten though is graduation day. The emotions, the music, what we wore, the family, and maybe even the name of some valedictorians who had a chance to speak will be forever engraved in our mind.
As the Bon Jovi song, "Never Say Good-bye", so sweetly played on my graduation day, courtesy to our valedictorian, Missy Ison -- OK, I went there :-) --, the graduation memory was officially forever stamped in my heart. I still get 'teary' eyed when I hear that song today. Although life continues on, we will never say good bye to the memories or the emotion of togetherness we felt that graduation day.
My family and I are very proud and happy to celebrate this year's high school graduate, my cousin Amanda McAdams. She graduated (with honors) and already has a semester of college hours. She is a natural beauty full of talent, wit, and a sweet personality who I know will accomplish her dreams. Check out the graduation picture gift I created for her.
Way to Go, Amanda, Class of 2010!!
We are so very PROUD of You!!
