This is the date that my son graduated from
Middle School with honors. It is now official
that he will be in High School at the start of
the next school year. He was extremely nervous
but at the same time very satisfied with
himself. I made sure that he would stand out for
his special day by taking him a few days before
this event to pick out some new clothes. You can
best assure that he was the best dressed graduate
there! "SMILE" He also had his family there to
support him and recognize his achievements on his
graduation day. His Nana Darling (my Mom) was
there, his Mom Mom (my Mother-in-Law, who is also
known as Grandma), his Uncle Lee, his Aunt Tina
and of course his Precious Flower and yes that
would be me! (He's called me that since he was
three years old). He was so nervous that I
thought he would pass out, but he made it through
the graduation process with flying colors.
Afterwards we headed for the reception to
celebrate! And of course he made out like Ali
Baba and the 40 Thieves with his graduation gifts
from his family. Later that evening, his Father
and I took him to the Olive Garden for dinner to
celebrate since his Father was not able to attend
the graduation ceremony. And to top the day off,
we ended it with a late night visit to Coldstone
Ice Creamery for his favorite, a love it, "Coffee
Lovers"! Overall, I would say that it was a
great experience for him and I'm sure a most
memorable one!! We are so "PROUD" of him!! Way
to go, Robby!!
"TWO WOLVES"
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. It has anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed.
