Call me a wus, but I get choked up at graduations. We watched my niece Samantha, who lives next door walk tonight and pick up her diploma. She has been a special part of our lives ever since she was first born. Her mom and dad both worked and at that time, Jilda did not work outside the home so Samantha spent most days with us. I worked from home a good bit so I had the good fortune to watch her grow into a beautiful young woman.
Tonight as I listened to the graduation march and I saw her coming down that isle, I got a lump in my throat. I am really proud of her, and all the graduating class of 2008. I hope they go forth and do remarkable things.
