My son graduated today!!

12 years and 8 months ago, my son started his academic journey. Today, he completed the first of what will be many chapters in his life. My pride in him cannot possibly be overstated. I’ve been home now for about an hour, and still I cannot stop crying the happiest of tears. My job—my dream—is to see him surpass me in every way. He’s doing a pretty damn good job so far!

I’d post pics, but yeah, no. Hell, I actually posted a pic on Facebook (so family could see). Only the third post I’ve made in the last 9 years lol. And of course, the other two posts are about my son as well.

Just wanted to tell the void of the internet that I am so proud of my son, and that I love him more than anything in this life.
