Graduation is a time of
reflection, of moving on and of celebrating your accomplishments! My little, well, younger, but much taller,
brother graduated from high school yesterday.
Sadly, I wasn’t able to attend, but I have seen pictures (Thanks to
facebook and his girlfriend who posts pictures at rapid speed…totally love it!)
I’ve also gotten the recap and mood of the day from my mom and the
graduate! Mom’s recount was sappy, sweet
and completely endearing. Mike’s recount
was along the lines of “I was so ready to be done. It was good. Speeches weren’t
so good. LC is changing. Traditions are being lost. It’s a good time
to be graduating.” After an hour long
and extremely insightful conversation with my brother, I have fully realized
that he is a young man. I love the way
he thinks so thoroughly, the way he feels honestly, his strong confidence that
is becoming more silent with each passing day, and the passion and dedication
he has for life.
As St. Francis de Sales once said and my
dad quoted…
“There is Nothing so Strong as Gentleness, and there is Nothing so Gentle
as real strength.”
This quote sums up my brother
perfectly. I am proud to be his
sister. Greatness awaits him and I am
excited to see in what form he embraces it!
Make us proud little brother. I
love you!
P.S. Yes, I am an emotional sap
right now.
Here are some photos that I am
sharing from facebook…

Congrats you two!
Much love.
