And another goes out into the world...pics

My son graduated from college today. So I send another child out into this world of uncertainty. I couldn't be prouder of him. He made the deans list almost every semester. He starts next month in the master's program.

My daughter graduated almost 7 years ago and she also has her masters degree.

If I died tomorrow I would die happy knowing my kids are the future.

I'm beyond beaming with pride tonight. I wanted to share with you guys.

It is a very special day when our children graduate and start off on their own. I hope he is happy and successful, however he chooses to define that.
