Graduation

Tonight I'll watch my son graduate and realize one of his dreams. As a parent you always want your child's dreams to come true, but some where along the way this power gets taken out of your hands. You watch him learn to walk, swim, ride a bike, and drive-and you try to make things easier for him.You catch them when they fall. Dust them off after a tumble and reassure them when they're scared. Eventually they'll be somewhere you can't pick them up. They'll be out of your reach. There will be nothing you can do but stand by and hope that you've taught them what they need to know.You pray that they can work hard enough and have the strength to do what they set out to do.
I know that it's his hard work and determination that's being rewarded as he walks across the stage. I know it's his dream, but I have this unbelievable feeling of pure joy. Somewhere along the way I did something right.
Paul-I am so proud of you,what you have done, and the man you have become. May more of your dreams come true-you deserve the best.
