My sister, the Graduate!

Today, I am a very proud Sister. Today I sat with my mom and my daughters as we watched my sister Dana graduate high school. As a parent, it’s a day that sneaks up on you so fast. It’s a day of a lot of “It seems just like yesterday . . . “. And it’s a day that you realize that your child really has grown up. Most importantly, it’s a day that truly makes you proud. My moms's little girl overcame challenges, leaped hurdles, and reached her goals over her school career. She made it. Words can't express the feeling of pride we all experienced today.

As I sat and watched the 300+ "Gheorghe Rosca Codreanu" High School Graduates of the Class of 2010 each coming up and receiving their diplomas, I couldn’t help but reflect back. I began thinking back on my own graduation, the dreams I had, and many paths life has taken me down. Although some of those paths were not always what I would have ever hoped for, they have all lead to better things.

Congratulations, sis!!!
