Isn't that amazing! Thanks so much for being here in spirit and for visiting and commenting.<br /><br />A big congratulations and best wishes to John, AND to your and your husband...it takes a village, or at least a family, to get our "little" ones to these accomplishments--and with honors, no less!

Just the first six notes of Pomp and Circumstance get me going at any time, and with your wonderful story to add to the tune in my head I can understand your sentiments exactly. Why do they play that song???? Congratulations to you and your son on this amazing accomplishment. You should be proud!! It is allowed when you are the mother!! I remember when you showed us a show your son had of his works. I hope he enjoys a very happy and successful career! Happy New Year!
