Tonight was Catherine's senior night for swim. I had dreaded this and was afraid I would be very emotional. As it was though, there were way too many distractions, not the least of which is that the narrow pool deck terrifies me and I'm afraid of falling in. Catherine chose her friend Max to present her senior gift. I wondered why she didn't choose Thomas, but he was asked by two others, both special needs young men, to present them with their senior gifts.
Each student is allowed to offer thanks to loved ones, but each of my kids received a special "shout out" from a senior. Matt, a special needs young man specifically thanked Catherine, and Eli, another special needs young man specifically thanked Thomas. Others mentioned to us how cool it was that each of our kids were the only ones that received individual thanks like that. I was so proud of my kids. Of course they each have their flaws and they aren't perfect, but they are nice people. I am eternally grateful for that.
This time has all gone so quickly!
