THE KIDS

This week concluded the school year for many. Mainly my grandchildren in Texas.
Aidden graduated and went on to first grade. How proud he was. He was dressed up in his finest. A suit white shirt and tie. Mom was there to see this milestone as well as Spencer. They let him out of class to see his brother graduate.
Yesterday was awards day for Spencer which was attended by his step-dad Jeremy. Spencer received an award for the best in his Science class and for the most improved for the semester. Way to go Spencer. I'm proud of you.
Today is Angelica's day. She is participating in a graduation ceremony going from fifth to sixth grade. Another stepping stone in life. Mom tells me she too was decked out in her finest. Fancy hair style and a pretty dress. Mom even went as far as letting her wear a little make-up. Mom couldn't make it because of work but her step-dad Jeremy will be there to see this happen.
I don't know how many folks realize how important it is to attend these ceremonies to show support for their children. It means a lot. It's too bad we all can't be there but I know life must continue with work and other obligations. Even if you can't be there make them know that they are special when you do see them.
