Out of 18 students, only three didn't cry. It was wonderful! Not that my kids were crying, but because they had loved the year enough, learned to love each other enough that they couldn't stand to see it end. Beautiful, beautiful end to a hard year. All of us crying and hugging. Who could ask for more?Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-45197520933640420952010-05-21T09:05:05.091-05:002010-05-21T09:05:05.091-05:00Ohw I love this Beth.

As for my wings, I suppose donating half of what I charge my floral clients to the local food bank counts. I do feel some tiny wings sprouting when I set my alarm to 4:30 a.m. to take my son to rowing practice twice a week. But in reality, I love to see his commitment to the sport.
