Well it happened.  I never thought I would see the day.  But it came and went, and we lived through it.  I only cried four times.

My daughter graduated from high school with a regular diploma.

It’s been a really really long story to this momentous event.  Years of attending IEP meetings.  Of fighting for services and accommodations.  Of watching her struggle so much harder than everyone else to learn even the simplest of concepts.

Years ago, she tested out with an IQ of 68 - borderline mental retardation.  Today - surpassing all expectations - she graduated with a 3.0+ GPA.

I am very proud of her, my daughter Paige.

P.S.  Before the graduation ceremony, my mother said to me, “When did you buy those clothes you’re wearing?”  I said, “Years ago - they were in the back of my closet, too small for me to wear.”  To which she replied, “The reason I asked is because they’re way too big and baggy on you now.”

Wooohoooo!!  =D
