Perhaps, one of the most moving events in the life of parents is to witness and watch their children walk across the stage to be handed their college diploma. We feel deep pride for our children when they graduate from college. Indeed, every milestone of a college graduation causes something to come out from our hearts into the throats and into our eyes – tears of joy and happiness.
My husband and I will never forget that one hardest part of parenthood when we experienced the bittersweet emotions as we brought each of our four sons to college - saying goodbye to their childhood days and welcoming them to their adult years We had to remind ourselves over and over again about the love, time, sacrifices and resources we shared out to each one of them for 22 solid years were the best things that we could ever give them in their lifetime. And every graduation event is a celebration of their achievement that marks the beginning of an amazing journey beyond university life and the time to cut the last cord and let them be on their own to make their own choices and spread their wings and fly.
We love you Jombo, and we are truly blessed God chose us to be your parents.
