On Wednesday, June 22

at 11AM, Jory graduates from kindergarten. I can't believe it. A week from today my baby will have on his cap and gown graduating.

We're working on his speech, where once again, he talks about wanting to be an airplane pilot. I'm okay with that job though I've heard doing that as a career and being so high up in the air for long periods of time causes health problems, so we may have to reevaluate this dream of his, but for now it rocks.

I remember graduating from Pre-First, not some lousy babyish kindergarten, at Redeemer. Okay, I don't remember the graduation, but I do remember that it happened and afterwards my mom took me to McD's. I'm pretty sure afterwards she took me back to school because she had to go back to work, but still. An awesome time had by all.

I wonder where Jory will want to go after his graduation. All these years later, I would perfectly happy if he wanted to go to McD's afterwards. It is, after all the greatest restaurant in the world.

My baby is graduating from kindergarten, leaving behind the school, the life he's had there for the last 3 1/2 years. In a few short months, he will embark on a whole new schooling adventure. I am so proud of him and I love him truly, madly, deeply.


Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father's great design
Through time you've been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye

But I know
The road He chose for me
Is not the road He chose for you
So as we chase the dreams we're after

Pray for me
And I'll pray for you
Pray that we would keep this common ground
Won't you pray for me
And I'll pray for you
That one day love will bring us back around again
