D+....IM GONNA GRADUATE!

I can't believe this day has come! I cried all day long graduation day...a constant stream of tears. I was thinking of all the family, friends, teachers, and coaches who have given Blake so much love and support over the years. Thoughts of our times as a family...moments of laughter, struggle, frustration, joy, worry, happiness...you name it, raced through my mind.

I will miss the late night conversations while he's sitting on my bedpost while Curt yelling at him to "get out!"
I will miss our sushi dates on the fly
I will miss our music sharing
I will miss him coming home, seeing dinner, and saying "you da best mom"
I will miss him asking if his muscles look bigger today
I will miss watching movies late at night, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friday Night Lights
I will miss laughing at with him because he has a great sense of humor
I will miss watching him play basketball every weekend
I will miss him yelling at Cooper to pick up his crap from the bathroom
I will miss his willingness and ability to have fun and do spontaneous things
I will miss him wrestling with his brothers
I will miss his help with driving/picking up kids
I will miss the sense of security he brings me
I will miss him taunting me and messing with my head

Oh gosh, so many more things still racing. Not all of this will go away, it's just the daily reminders and knowing things won't be the same. Im so excited for new journeys.
