It's so hard to believe that it's time for him to graduate! As the others have said I'm sure that you have lots of different emotions right now. Having your children grow up is bittersweet. On one hand you're thrilled that they're becoming adults and on the other hand you feel like you're losing your baby. You certainly have a son to be proud of! (Next year you can give me this same talk because I'm going to be a basket case when she graduates!!)

This what Diana said is so true, having your children growing up is bittersweet! The mixed emotions wow... hehehehe last year we had our son graduate highschool (college) one minute you want to burst out in tears, next minute you are smiling because something funny gets said at the ceremony - tradition here is to hang out a Dutch flag if they have passed their exams and will be graduating, i think i wrote the story, they pick out a date after the exams to call if they did not pass and they can call anywhere from 8am till 4pm that day, all day we were on pins and needles, at 4pm they posted a list of the kids names that will be graduating, all friends started calling each other to congratulate each other, so many friends came here, i cried when i saw them hug each other they were so happy. Janet, no matter what you wear, you will look beautiful, and you will shine girlfriend, your baby has acomplished so much, and you are the best mom, he couldnt have had a better example in hes life, he will be very proud of you!! Dont forget your camera that day and take lots of pics to show us! Enjoy the preperations, it's also your day

Oh Janet! What a time in his life this is! It is so wonderful to have your whole life in front of you, and the whole world as your own!
It is bittersweet for you, and my heart is with you. The little boy you have cherished has grown up. This new phase is nice though. You will share in his excitement as he makes decisions about his life. And, don't think for one minute that he doesn't need you anymore! He will rely on your wisdom now in a conscious way. You have done such a wonderful job as his Mom, that he will always come to you for advice. You have raised a beautiful human being, and the world is grateful!
