Vincent came home after finishing A School for a week. I was so happy to see him at the airport. He picked me up when I went to hug him and carried me a few steps. I think he was happy to see me, too. :) It has been wonderful having him home. Yes, he has changed, grew up and became much more mature than when he left in February. He has been a great help around the house. He would do things without being asked and just trying to lighten my load. I was always proud of him, but now I am speechless.… Continue

Then off to the Navy Lodge at Great Lakes. My father was happy to be back to see the place where he taught for three years. I couldn't go to sleep because I couldn't wait to see Vincent. Graduation was fun and exciting, but tiring as well. We got to the graduation hall at 7:00 a.m. and waited for two hours. But, let me tell you tw… Continue
