Reflections

 

 

 

 

 

 

My nephew Austin will be graduating high school tonight.  WOW, where does the time go?!  I was reflecting a bit this morning as to how my sister must feel watching her baby graduate.  Not sure how you watch without crying the whole time.  I would think pride of raising such an accomplished person would take over instead of tears, but still…

 

These are some pics of how I still see Austin in my head.  Always older than my boys, but still just a BOY.  Reality is that he has grown up into an awesome young man.  I will of course post some pics later of the graduation.  But today, I just wanted to reflect on my sister and the great job she has done raising such a great kid.  These pics remind me to cherish the times now with my young boys while they will still sit next to their moma ;)  I don't want my babies to ever leave me.  Funny how teenagerism will change that thought for me soon though, I am sure-lol. 

 

Congratulations Sheila and Austin for one of life's greatest milestones.  I hope you don't ever forget to give your mom a hug ever now and then, and remember to thank her for helping you become the great person you are!!

P.S-After reading it sounded like Sheila was a single mom...oops!  Scott gets some credit for raising up Austin too-lol
