Graduation ... Before, During & After

You may be wondering why I have placed this here, on my Poetry site, rather than on my personal site. Well ... when I started thinking about it, I realized that every child's life, from the first moment of birth to the age of adulthood and beyond, is the greatest work of poetry ever done. The good and bad times, the easy and hard times, the laughter and tears -- all of it -- they all blend together to make the raising of a child as beautiful as the finest-crafted poem, evoking all of the same emotions and visions. So ... that is why it is here. *smile*

With that in mind, I decided to put more than just Graduation Day photos in this slideshow. You will also find a few surprises -- childhood photos, prom photos, and photos of the last game of the Senior football season. You will see David and his best friends, "the boys" -- Skyler, Scott (also his cousin), Drew, Jordan, Justin and Tyler. Together, they made the last 4 years the best ever! I also snuck in a pic of Dave's football coach and High School principal (well, at least the back of him, that is *grin*), who were gracious enough to attend our graduation party.

So sit back and enjoy, and thank you for taking the time to share in the poetry of my son, David.
