Hello Everyone-Please bear with me while I spend a little time reflecting today. This past weekend was the college graduation of my youngest child. All I can say is Wow! It still is kind of an “out of body experience” if something like that is really possible. You watch them in their cap and gown and can’t help remember when you first discovered that you were pregnant with them and then like Wow! there they are crossing the stage and I might brag a little here, crossing the stage in style with a double major and graduating with highest distinction. Like I said, Wow! Watching my other children that traveled far to celebrate with us, I looked at their lives and really liked what I saw. They are on their way in their choice of careers and enjoying life. They are successful in their fields and most importantly, they are all good people. They are successful in life and for this, I am the most proud. Good, kind, honest people who are not totally (remember they are still under 30!) self absorbed and are very considerate of those around them. It makes me so proud and feel that I have done something right! It is really fun to watch them interact as grown up people and see that they truly do like each other. There were those times in their youth where you really wonder that. Wonder if they even like you or themselves! With each phase of parenting from newborn to now, I like being a parent more and more. I am really ready to reinvent the wheel and include some grandchildren in the picture, but I know that that will come in due time. In the meantime, I think I will just sit back and reflect and continue to say Wow! Have a great day, Kathy
