Graduation Day  by calm

Graduation Day

Our son, on the left, and his best friend (since preschool) graduated from the University today, Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude. So proud of both of these fine young men, not just for the achievement today represents, but the kind of men they have grown up to be. Both will be pursuing masters degrees, but at different universities. Sad that this part of their journey together is coming to a close. Yet I eagerly await what God has in store for each of them. I am sure they will be lifelong friends, forever friends, even if they are separated by miles. How I love both of these guys!
Great smiles

Congrats Cathy, I know you've got to be so proud of them and rightfully so. It's a great picture and I'm sure they will remand friends. My twin grandson's also graduated yesterday and the other one last week with their Doctorate Degree in Law. It's such an accomplishment for our fine young men and women of today.
