Four years ago I drove my son to Cornell for the first time... and left him there. I am certain I was the one who was more afraid... not because I was afraid he would not be okay with out me, but that I might not be okay without him.
He and I have had to be there for each other throughout the years, dealing with both physical challenges and emotional disappointments. He is one of the most brave people I know. He handles life with a level of grace, dignity and courage that inspires me to be a better person.
Last weekend he graduated, magna cum laude, with honors thesis research in Animal Science.
The morning of graduation, just the two of us, took a hike through one of the gorges on campus then walked about enjoying the campus one last time together discussing the future.
I love him immensely and will allow the snapshots from the weekend to speak for themselves.

Hey... YOU assumed I was calling you a dumbass... I was simply making the statement that I would rather be considered a smartass than a dumbass!!!
:P
Why is you "YOU" capitalized? Is this a "YOU," like when one points and say curtly: "YOU!"
This is enough for you to think about tonight.

Maybe you are a smarter ass than I give you credit for... why, Yes! That is exactly what the capitalized "YOU" meant!!!! :P
LMAO..."...Maybe you are a smarter ass than I give you credit..."
Well isn't this the kindest of gestures from you today.
I guess I should say "..thank you..."
