What is this? Where has time gone?With the wisdom of the profound Dr. Seuss, "I will laugh because it happened, and not cry because it is over!"
Jonathan, I'm so proud of you, my first born. I love you always, Mom

Congratulations, Jonathan!! I'm so proud of you!
Love, Esther
The years fly by. I have one graduating too. It's a joy to watch them go off to new things. The wings are stretching a little wider, and they are going farther. Congratulation on all your hard work Rachel.

HI RACHEL, CONGRATULATIONS TO JONATHAN FOR YOUR HARD WORK. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU. KEITH
Congrats! Such an exciting and bittersweet time!
Congratulations, Jonathan! May your graduation be just the start of a great adult life!
We love you, Jonathan, and are so glad we got to be with you at your graduation. May God richly bless your life and guide you in His will.
Oh how that Dr. Seuss wisdom tugs at my heart! I was so sad as my children graduated from high school (actually, I was RELIEVED at first--it was touch and go at times---then I became sad. Then grateful, but sad.) However, even though I thought my life as I knew it was over because they were no longer needing me as much, they showed me how wonderful it was to watch them mature into amazing adults with fulfilling lives of their own. And I got real lucky and ONE of them gave me the greatest gift (AFTER he fininshed college, got a job and married!!!)--a magnificent grandbaby! So now, I am laughing with happiness, because it is not over.
Oh Rachel,
Doesn't the time just fly by when you have kids to mark each passing year with their changes??? I have seen my baby boy, Joshua, who is just 16 turn into a 6'6" man this year! Very strange and it hurts my heart to see him starting to drive and not needing me as much anymore too!
I will pray that Jonathan will be blessed on his journey and that you and your husband will be blessed by his life as he grows older!
XO,
Donna Lynn
P.S. Prayers are going up...
I'm glad we were able to be with you all for this great occasion. It is hard to believe that it's already here and he is "mostly" grown :-) I wish him the best in life and to always have God's smile on him.
Time does go by so fast, indeed... Congratulations to Jonathan, and many blessings to him and his loving family....
Hugs

Hi Rachel,
Congrats to Jonathan, they grow up so fast don't they.

Oh Rachel,
How wonderful - and I love the saying. You always look on the Sunnyside of Life, dear friend which is the only way to go - I'm going to borrow your Dr. Seuss saying if you don't mind.
Congrats to Jonathan - you've only just begun.
Talk to you soon, Rachel.
