BS: Aine's No. 1 Son Graduates Today!

From: Áine

Just a note to say 'Thank you' to all you 'Catters who have made my dear son's mother so happy for the last few years, thus contributing to a happy husband, who carried the burden of paying for most of the education *BG*

This is a Day of Celebration here at Moon on the Hill -- made all the more glorious because not only is our Braden graduating from university today -- but because he has grown into a wonderful young man -- intelligent, independent, mannerly, compassionate, and MUSICAL!! Even though Dear Hubby and I are not able to be at the graduation ceremony, we're able to share our joy with all our friends here on the Mudcat, which is almost as good as a party!

So, here's to all you parents who have 'crossed the stage' before us, to all you parents who are still paying the way, and to all you parents who have yet to enjoy the delights of dealing with the university loan office. ;-)

And here's to my son, Braden, who has always been and always will be his mother's best friend. I love you, dear one.

All the best to you and yours, Áine

Knowing how you feel about this son, indeed about both......I cannot possibly be any happier for you. You've reared up a good one there Dearheart....Hope I'm half as lucky (and good).

Give him a big hug from me too....and take one for yourself and Lane as well. Have some great holidays!!

Congrats! My daughter is a senior in high school and hopes to go to college next fall. I'm still saying, "Where did all the time go????" And, before you know it, she'll probably be graduating from a university, too, and I'll still be saying the same.

Best wishes to you all.

I missed this when it first came around...just wanted to add my congratulations...to No. 1 son, Braden, and to the family that reared him. Just the kind of good news I was looking for today!

Yay!

Wonderful feeling, isn't it? The butterflies before you cross the stage, the happy relief afterward.

The knowledge that you chose a long-term and diffecult goal, and had the strength and ability to meet it.

Now comes time to take a breather, be it a short time or a longer one and enjoy.

And it has a sad side to it also, because it means parting from friends and all that as well, so the best of luck to Braden in managing that side of it.
