365/100
No we didn’t die in a plane crash or get eaten by a gator, but if you happened to wonder why I didn’t post yesterday, the Mac locked me out of my own site. Believe me I tried. It was my 100th in a row without missing a single one. I feel a tat bit empty now. But don’t worry, I’ll recover. Sniff, sniff.
Anyway, here’s to my handsome graduate with honors. My son Casey graduated high school yesterday and is leaving in July for a six year enlistment in the Navy.
As I stood watching him, all grown up, ready to venture out on his own, my heart broke for every soccer game I missed, for every hug I could have had, for every dirty sock I never had the chance to tell him to pick up, and every single event in between. And yet this handsome, smart, caring young man still calls me mom. I am honored and humbled to be called by that name. And very very thankful that even though I couldn’t see it at the time, God had a plan for us.

Hallie;
How wonderful. Casey looks so much like you…and truly he is a very handsome young man. Glad you were able to go to his graduation. AND how awesome that he is going to serve our country. A handsome and brave young man you have there, my sweet friend.
Thankful you had the opportunity! Do you love flying now or what?
If not, I’ll love it for both of us. Missed you!
