Last night I watched my baby brother march down an aisle to a ridiculously overplayed song in a stunning green cap and gown. To many this would seem a joyous occasion, one for celebration and truly, it is. But I still think of my "Bubba" as twelve years old, when he thought I was so cool.
Josh is one of the most tenderhearted people I've ever known. He loves so completely, so trusting. He is brillant with my kids and they adore him. But there is a part of me that wishes he had stayed twelve. I cried as he walked across the stage and received his diploma. Just a reminder that time marches on.....
And at last, the crazy weekend of graduation is over and life goes back to normal. Now I must go and drag Jonah out of bed with the constant reminder that he only has to do this for three more days. The last week of school is entirely useless in my opinion. Ah well.....

It's our turn Saturday. I met Jayson's brother Jeremy when he was 12. Now he's graduating. Crazy.
you asked about Angie Deale, I just got off the phone with her. she's doing well and adjusting to life with 2 kids. I don't have your email address...but if you can get it to me (through amy maybe?) then we can email more!
