I recall those same feelings when my daughter graduated high school TEN years ago! Went to California to be a part of it. I was SO proud! Then I started getting the bills from her Nursing School!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It never ends, my friend!!! But, as you so accurately pointed out, it truly IS a labor of love!!!

This is a day that commemorates one achievement that took many years of ups and downs to get to, and it will be well celebrated...but there are many more to come....

Ron,
My advocation and support of education is well documented amongst these Threads. I must offer my most sincere congratulations to your daughter and a special "well done" to you and your former wife. Yours is a tremendous feat and a testament to good parenting, for being a parent does NOT end when divorce enters. Parenting is a job you accept for life. You are a special individual, as is your ex-wife. I commend you both. Please pass along my best to ALL of your family.
