Congrats Joel!



Getting ready to go to Stephanie's high school graduation ceremony is making me think of you. The fact that you graduated six months early two Decembers ago and never had a formal ceremony. It was such a difficult time back then and you simply wanted to be done with school. You finished up and graduated, diploma in hand -- but never had that formal public acknowledgment where we could as a family congratulate you.

I know you're happy with that choice of not having a party or going to graduation, but I've never said how very proud I am of you here, on my blog. In public. For finishing school on your own. For following through. For taking care of yourself and doing what you had to do. I have told you other ways how proud I am... just not here.

With all of the other graduations and achievements our family is experiencing this year that I've mentioned here, I wanted everyone else to know how very proud I am of all you have done and all you continue to do. You have a strength of character that is amazing to me. I admire you.

I love you Joel,
Mom
