Tonight was Senior Night at the last home football game of the season. Prior to the start of the game the Senior football players and cheerleaders present their parents with a plaque thanking their parents for their support. The moms receive a carnation as well. The senior cheerleaders wear one of the senior players football shirts for the occasion. The parents lined up on the 50 yard line and all the players and cheerleaders lined up opposite the parents, with the senior honorees being announced one by one, followed by their parents names. I did very well, I didn't shed a tear although I had a pocketful of tissues. I must confess that I did that earlier today while I was working in the garden.

You have a lot to be proud of. I remember when I first became an empty nester. It was hard... but then I got used to it. Do enjoy this special time together.
I must add...without going into detail...that I am VERY VERY proud of her for sticking to her guns!! LOVE YA ASHY! Now, back to the tissues, you must blog why! Two down, one to go - seems like just yesterday they were little shits!! ;)
You did VERY well! I would have been a puddle of tears...shoot, I'm already stocking kleenex for the Christmas programs at school and church...
This must've been a very emotional and meaningful time for you, Cheryl. You held up well!
