awesome news today, i have a grandson here 19 yrs old has lived with us for 5 years. he moved out about two months ago on his own. hey the news around here lately just gets better all the time. will about two weeks ago he called me to say he didnt think he was graduating trom high school his year. i was dissapointed but told him ok well maybe next year :) we did our best to get him through the dissapointment he was feeling over it all because it was only 1/2 a credit he had stuggled with all year long in algebra . and we all knew he could do this. well i got a call from him today saying he had just gotten a call too. from the high school telling him he is in FACT graduating this year. yahoooooooooo i am so tickled pink for him . only catch is this. the high school here has limited space on events like this so each student is given only 6 tickets for their family members and they have to choose who can attend and who can't . been there done that one three years ago when my youngest son who is in the navy graduated from highs school here. well my grandson went on to say there are no tickets left. all of them are gone so they asked him if he wanted to walk and he said no if my family can't be there then i see no reason to do so. well i got to thinking about it and called him up and told him if you want to walk you do so. and i would like for you to do this. your the one that is graduating not us. we all know your graduating too. this is your moment and we know you want to share this with us . but you should do this its an awesome cerimony you will never forget. its your finalization to 12 years of schooling. a closer to one part of your life and and event that opens a new one. dont rob yourself of this just because your family couldnt go . he said he will call them in the am and see if he can still walk but told me the cap and gown cost alot i told him dont worry about that i will cover it for you if you want to walk then you walk ok. for yourself an no one else. heck there were times when we began this whole journey they told me he wouldnt make it with out speical education . he fought to do his schooling in the main stream and because that is what he wanted and i thought he could do this i fought along with him to make sure he did it his way. so hey he more then earned his deploma for sure. and with good grades. not awesome but they are bs. and c's what more could he ask for or me for that matter.
