A movie moment

Today is graduation day.  It's also Andrew's last day with students, it's Catherine's foot appointment day (long story), and apparently it is also a day of Holy Obligation (grrr) so Catherine will be taking my mother-in-law to church around Noon.  It's not like we are sitting around counting down the hours until Thomas graduates.  We've got things to do.  Unfortunately, we've had soaking rains all morning, so everything we do will have to be done inside.

This morning though, will have a moment I'll always remember, and it could've been right out of a movie.  Thomas has graduation rehearsal this morning, so I went to wake him up and make sure that he is moving.  As I was waking him up and wishing him "Happy Graduation Day!" I heard the song on the radio.  The song is about our life with Thomas, and I was so struck in that moment about how lucky I've been to be his mother.  We are so incredibly blessed.  It was just like it was a moment in a movie with the perfect soundtrack.  I'm so grateful for this life we've all had together.
