Friday afternoon Johnny graduated from high school. It was a beautiful ceremony, held at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, which I found out later on was a venue for some pretty spectacular groups (which you may have heard of), as in "The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones", and "New Kids on the Block"! I thought that was pretty cool. Heck, if those successful groups walked across that same stage, isn't that paving the way for quite a bright future for my boy as well? I hope to think so.
Johnny doesn't like the spotlight, he never has, however, we had a small gathering for him this weekend to show him how much he's loved and cared for. Some family and friends came from San Jose and although he didn't come right out and say it, I could tell that he truly enjoyed himself. Sometimes the party doesn't always sound like a great idea until after you get a chance to see your loved ones whom you haven't seen in awhile, and then you wonder why it's been so long! Johnny ended up having a great time and truly appreciating that everyone made the trip. Sometimes being in the spotlight isn't so bad after all.
Now that the dust has settled and we have one child graduated from middle school and on her way to Mira Loma High School, and the other graduated from high school and on his way to American River Community College, it's kind of strange. Johnny wants it to be known that he was actually accepted into a couple different state colleges, however, he chose to go to ARC for me. Being that I'm currently stage IV and my boy and I are super close, he wanted to be near me, to help in anyway he could. So, although he won't be going away to school, it wasn't necessarily his first choice. We're going to try and redo his bedroom so that it'll be more exciting (kind of like a dorm room would have been)... :) so that'll be our summer project to start working on.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
