Graduation for Kai was everything I had wanted for him. Arriving the day before, we settled into our cozy B&B run by a gracious elderly couple who actually cooked a "full" breakfast for us the folllowing day. On the day of Graduation, Kai was found on the great steps to Stockbridge Hall, dressed in cap and gown, speaking with Jeff Lewis (all the way from Maine), and David Kennedy who also traveled from the Cape. I want to thank them for making the effort to stand beside us through all of this turmoil in our recent lives, to put aside all of their desires and put us first, and for taking the time - yes- just time, to be along when we needed them the most.

Caleb traveled without a glitch and we arrived back home to prepare for yet another Potter/Lindsay yard party, complete with cold beers in tubs, wine for me and a Pinata to finish up the celebration.

Now a word of thanks to Elizabeth Esher - Kai's long term girlfriend who has also passed through this journey with him, and has given him the love and patience that has helped to carry him through. ( We would post a picture..but all of you single bloggers would be hitting on her)...Liz also graduated with honors.

I have been feverish just thinking about all of the support we have had, all of you who follow along with us, all of your blessed intentions for us, and wondering just what I could possibly say to convey our appreciation. So re-read what I just wrote to Jeff and David, for that very same thank you applies to you as well.


When I wake each morning I ponder how this day will go - will we get through without turmoil, or another accident, or loss? Or will we be graced with cherry blossoms dreaming their way to the ground, the melodious sound of a single chime somewhere off in the distant woods, and safe and ever so gently sleeping boys above me?
Love is the only reason to ever go forward..... and with love for you today- I step out into the day .
