1. Cool
Tell me about it. My nephew is graduating too, and he was just a baby last time I looked. I haven't even had the chance to start yet, and these kids are making me feel too old..lol.

You must be a proud parent right now. :thumbsup:

My son graduates next week - it's pretty amazing, isn't it? And my nephew graduated from college this year. Makes this old high school dropout very proud indeed.

18. My dear leftofthedial!
I am so happy for you! Congratulations!

You know, she just asked me to be her friend on MySpace.....

And even though I did not recognize her name, I added her......

Because there were some other people I knew who were already her friends...

And then she sent me a message, identifying herself as YOUR daughter!

So......I'm so glad I added her! She looks like a very talented and lovely young woman....

Congrats on raising her to such a good place!

:pals:

28. That's great!
My oldest daughter graduates in a week and I can't believe it. I swear it was yesterday when she jumped off the bus after her first day in Kindergarten with a paper crown on her head!
