Proof

Graduation rocks. You get to stop doing something and start to think about doing something else.

Never before in anyone's life have things been so wonderful.................

You're through with high school. The very thing that dominated your entire life up to this point. The feeling of relief is amazing and the sense of accomplishment is wonderful.

College is coming - but in kid terms, it's forever away. There is an entire summer before you have to start up with school again. And when you do? Well, it's so much better. You get to go where you want to go when you want to go there. You don't have to see the same schmucks in the hallway each day. You get to see the cute, stuck up bitches get fat!!!

Sorry, personal perspective on the last one.........

But never again in life will you be in this place. This place where you think you are through but in reality, you're only getting started.

This is the place where you won't listen to any advice because the world is your pearl. This is the place where us parents have to trust that we've done a great job so far and some of what we tried to teach you stuck somewhere on the inside.

So Hannah Grace, my sweet child, please enjoy this summer and as many as you can in the future - because at your next graduation, you'll never have the summer off again.

My only advice?

Smell the flowers but don't snort the pollen.

I love you!!!
