Last night Robert had commencement practice for high school graduation at Community Christian Church. I thought it would be good for Robert to have a finale for homeschool graduation and there is a homeschool connection in the area that does commencements for the graduates. He does know some of them from playing sports for the Summit Homeschool Sports Club.
Last night I kept my composure and didn't shed a tear but I can't promise that on Friday at his commencements. It is really a neat commencement and there is suppose to be about 600 coming to watch the commencement. The father prays over the graduate and we as parents present the diploma to the graduate which is really nice and personal. There is approximately 35 students graduating. Some students don't participate in the commencements but we thought it would be an ending to a new beginning of his life...WOW!!!! now that brings tears to my eyes!!!!
Where do the years go by? Treasure each day with your kids because when they start getting to this age and are getting independant it is heart breaking for us moms. It is exciting in the same breath and I am so excited to see where God will lead him and I pray that he will continue to follow God and realize that our church family means so much to us!!!! Ninety percent of the people that are attending in behalf of Robert, is our church family.
This weekend I will share pictures with everyone of his commencements.
Keep smiling!!!!
