Got up bright and early this morning to go to Sam's Graduation. Picked up Les and then meet Rod, Raquel and boys at the Marriott Center. It was a great day for all of us but especially Rod and Raquel. This meant that all the hours of studying, typing reports, (computer) and tutoring paid off. Way to go Raquel for being a great mom and helping Sam achieve this day. And Rod for all the love, support and encouragement you have given Sam over the years to help him reach this day. This day was definitely one of those pay day days for both of you. I know how very proud you both were as well has Ben and Chris as I heard the, "
there he is," 'Where', "Right there behind the girl with the pink Lea." And the whistles and cheers as his name was called and he walked across the floor to get that diploma. It was hard for me to keep back the tears as I saw the tears in Raquel's eyes. Now Ben and Chris just a couple more years and we will be there for your graduation. "Where is the little boy I carried? When did he get to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday when he was small?" I remember like it was yesterday having Sammy sleep overs. Taking him for walks in the stroller, teaching him to sing twinkle, twinkle little star. Boy where does the time go?
Sam's picture on the big screen as he was presented to receive his diploma.
Sam so excited with his graduation gift from us. Papa wanted to make sure he had a camera to take with him on his trip to New York this summer.
Proud Family!!!!
Proud Mom and Dad with their Grad.
Three generations, Rod, Sam, and Nana and Papa.
The three Bro's!!! What a handsome crew!!! I found some quotes about brothers that I thought you might enjoy.
"It nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on...someone to tell on!~Author Unknown" ;-] "
"A brother is a friend who was once a bother." This was one of those days that is etched forever in your heart!!
