Congratulations to our Sailors in prototype graduating this Friday, the 9th. They have worked very hard to make it to this point. Round of applause to them all!
Applause and the word Proud, seem so small for the Accomplished Sailors we all have. If I may post something here that i have on my Face Book page:
Thank you all for the Kudos and Positive Comments about Graduation and accomplishments...Funny how as parents we pray and wish for the best for our kids when they are small then when it comes down to it ...what matters most is that they are happy, healthy and safe. All else is Frosting on the cake! So, Accomplished, Successful, Responsible and Accountable is the stuff for the resume...Dear Sons and Daughters, we Love and Miss you already and we are Proud, and pray you stay happy, healthy and safe.
♥ Love and Hugs from all of us at Home ♥
PS Grad last Friday was AWESOME!!! Lots of emotion, lots of very happy families! Now on to grad-hold. As my son says, "at least I'm not going to be shining the seat of a desk anymore." :)
There is a young gent, last name of Wilson, that was on the color guard with my son. The "leader" of the color guard, Cortez, was going to have my son stand over to the side and not participate in the ceremony at the afternoon game of the Carrier Classic. Wilson stepped up and spoke to Cortez and told him he thought he was wrong and that my son should be allowed to participate--he had worked very hard, had never missed a practice and was deserving. Cortez took his words to heart and my son participated. I don't know of Wilson's mom is part of this group (his family wasn't at PS grad) but if you are, your son is now a personal hero of mine. There aren't a lot of people that will stand up and speak for others. He did! He's completely awesome!!!!
