Well I expected my mom to cry at my graduation. I expected my sister to cry. I expected at least one of my friends to cry. I even considered the fact that my dad might get a bit emotional, but there was one person that I never dreamed would fall apart. Myself. I seriously cried more than all the rest of them combined. It was so pathetic. It started when I was watching the slide show that they put together of the seniors. The picture of my grandma and I came up and I choked. Then when I got on stage and my dad started to speak, I just couldn't take it anymore. It was as if all the emotions of this past year finally caught up with me and I had to let them out. I think everyone was a little bit shocked, including myself. It's not everyday that I cry, let alone cry in front of a room full of people, half of which I have never met before in my life. But it almost felt good at the same time. This sort of thing would embarrass me horribly under normal circumstances, but for some reason it seemed to fit just fine for my grad. I cannot believe that I'm done now, but the blessings I received from my family and friends were so overwhelming. I have a lot to think about and look forward to. :-)
God, I praise Your name for all the blessings You have poured out on my in this life, and for all that I have to look forward to.
