To my Mother -Graduation

Dear Mommy, 

You did it, you finished college. You could have finished long ago but instead decided to raise children, to raise me. Your done now though, after all that time you decided to finish and we are so proud. We knew you could do it. I admire the way you stuck through it all. School is hard, it isn't everyone who wants to continue school once they've stopped, but you have, you did. You are an ispiration to all of us, each one of your seven children plus your many 'adopted'. All of us will think of you when we think of success. 

Thank you cashier at trader joes, you didn't have to give us a free bouquet but you did and that was extremely thoughtful and nice.

"Congratulations!

Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself 
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."

-Dr Seuss
