Graduation Time!

This past weekend Nate and I ventured south to West Monroe, Louisiana to see my brother graduate from High School Monday night.  We had a very good visit.  I got to spend some quality time with my best friends and my brother! I still can remember when he was Nate's age.  Just doesn't seem possible that he has graduated High School.  It really didn't sink it to me until the band was playing the alma mater that I began to tear up thinking that just nine years ago I walked across that stage and accomplished the same victory that my brother was accomplishing that very moment! It hit me like a ton of bricks! I just want to sit him down and beat into him how to live his life because I have been there and done that. But I know that he has to learn from life and he isn't always going to make the right choice. But I do know that he has a strong foundation and a good head on his shoulders and he has such a BEAUTIFUL life ahead of him.  He is gonna do great things! I am so very proud of the man he has become! So even though Graduation Time was a little teary for me it means that my brother has made it through the first 13 years of school and I know that I had a part in those years and all I can do is SMILE!!
