Sage's Graduation

My Dear Sage,

I can't believe that you are a GRADUATE?! The time has flown incredibly fast...it seems like yesterday I was holding you in my arms and here we are 18 years later! This poem by Genie Graveline sums up my feelings perfectly, so I wanted to share it with you...

"For My Son On Graduation Day"


 Today, as you graduate, one chapter in your life has closed, and another is about to begin. The future stands bright before you, so take hold of your dreams and no matter what...don t let go. There will be times ahead when you will feel overwhelmed, but try not to give up, for nothing which is worth anything, comes without hard work and sacrifice. When you were a little boy, I held your hand. I guided you and protected you as best I could. It s time for me to let go now. There is some pain in that. Still, there is also a wonderful sense of pride and accomplishment as I look at the young man that you have become. I love you, Son, and I pray that my love will sustain you. It s time now... spread your wings and fly!




I am so very proud of you. I love you Sage!

Congratulations Shelbie!
