Title: Joys of life -Update w/pics
Post by Peppermint on Jun 9th, 2009 at 9:21am
Well, like many of you, my daughter is also graduating this year, tomorrow to be precise.  Bye bye middle school, hello boarding school!  Did I just really say that??

I did.  I'm so proud of my daughter, she has achieved beyond OUR wildest dreams, and is the recipient of a Scholar's award to one of the best boarding schools in the NorthEast.  Always there for eachother, now my daughter will leave me to work hard towards the future, four years earlier than expected.  It's not what I expected to happen, but the opportunity is amazing, and I would never hold her back.  All the frustrations and fears of single parenthood are metamorphosing.  

I get choked up just thinking about it, but I'm taking it one day at a time.  For now, Graduation is tomorrow.  It might sound obnoxious, but I wanted to share, not so much as brag.  

I'll post pics when I have them.

Way to go Pepp!  You have a lot to be proud of and thankful for.  It's nice you know that.  Not everyone does.

Good luck tomorrow Pep, I hope the weather stops monkeying around there! Brid was dead peeved with me that I'd spoken to you but that she didn't get to say hi until I explained you were at work. She said to say hi and goodluck to Ericka from her too so of course needlenose had to butt in with his tuppence ha'penny worth! LOL

Sooo.. have a wonderful day from all three of us!

Ohhhh Pepp.....

times like these are when you can hold your head high and look yourself in the mirror and say...

"It was worth every second of it...."

Your daughter is taking those wings you gave her, that you taught her to use, and flying gracefully into that wild blue that awaits her.

Congrats to you BOTH.  It was a lot of work on both your parts.  

"It was worth every second of it...."

Thank you all for the well wishes!

It was wonderful, beautiful, and I'm so happy my daughter met her wonderful classmates/friends/good people.

I'll post pictures shortly, internet access is still down at home (any geeks want to reach out? I've tried everything!)

You mean to tell me you haven't told her about the vast network of "aunts and uncles and cousins" throughout the world who know her and love her and will look after her?

My son is always looking over his shoulder to see which Clusterhead or supporter might be watching him! ;)

heheh.. Thanks ~ I will remind her of this..as it is, she will be near Rori, who is an ex-student of this school.  Rori let her know from the get-go  ;D  I know she will be "dropping by" when she has the opportunity.

It makes me feel better!
