Sydney Graduated...

This picture is old and pretty grainy, but it shows what I want to tell you. These are two special little girls in my life. They were adopted by my son, when he and their mother decided to marry. They won my heart from day one. They were introduced to me at Halloween, when John and Karen brought them out to meet us. Here were these sweet little things in their Halloween costumes sitting on  my rocker together holding hands. They looked so cute in their Disney inspired costumes.

Through the years I've had the pleasure of watching them develop into young women. The smallest one, Xoie, is in the process of finding out what she wants to do in her life. I know she will find something that is unique...just as her name is. The other one, Sydney, has always known what she wanted. She wanted to be a physical therapist and accomplished that yesterday by graduating and receiving her  Doctoral degree in physical therapy. I'm so proud of her this morning and just wanted to share the news with everyone.

Congratulations, Sydney...I know that you will accomplish whatever it is that you set out to do. I love you both...
