Hello. I have two children. One graduated June 11, 05 and I sure was a proud parent. My son was here for the summer break from college. As my daughter walked across the stage, I felt a joyful pain. She has done an excellent job and will need to go off to college to learn even more. I guess the pain is that she'll 'go off' and the joy is that she has the intellect to do so.

Now, I guess I go and start posting about the empty nest syndrome since it hit the very moment she walked off of the stage.
