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

Awesome job, Mom ~ both on your lovely daughter and your way too baggy clothes!
That is SO awesome!!!!! All the way around!!!!
Congratulations, Eileen!
You are such a nice looking family, baggy clothes and all!
what an awesome comment from ur mother, only more motivation to keep on going. and congrats paige! that’s awesome to have worked through all the obstacles and come out a winner! such an inspiration indeed!
congrats proud momma! your daughter is beautiful. and your mom is right… get some clothes that fit woman ;), hehe
Love the pic and the reason for the celebration. Way to go to paige and her supportive family! I couldn’t help but notice the palm tree in the background! What’s that behind you? A big storm rolling in?
It’s pretty exciting to be wearing baggy clothing for the reason of having lost weight instead of trying to wear a tent to hide something. I had to throw out my favorite pair of shorts, they wore a hole in the inner thigh. One day we shouldn’t have to worry about that spot wearing out first anymore! Wish I could go shopping with you! I need more shorts and a pair of exercise pants. The one pair i always wear is starting to get that thigh wear thing too. I think I’m excited to see if I can actually try another size lower as the 22/24 now seems a little loose!
I agree with Susan, what great news on both accounts. Congratulations to both you and Paige
