Karen-I know….it is a testiment to the gift YOU and Al have given this world. You have raised him to have the courage to dream and the determintion to go after his dreams-It will leave a sadness in all of us, but he is starting on a new journey-new phase of his life. We are all very proud-He is truly LIVING

Thanks guys,
When he came up the stairs to tell me that he was accepted, I immediately burst into tears… so happy for him because he wanted it so badly and I think at that very moment the reality hit that he would be so far away from home. I’m so proud of him and happy that he’s doing something that I never did; go away to college. He’s determined to live life to the fullest and on his own terms. I admire him so much. <3
