This Love Seems Cray Cray!

I am still enjoying all the graduation and award photos being posted by proud parents and grandparents. But let’s be real! Those parents deserve plenty of acclamation! Their photos should be posted for the sacrifices they made in getting their children here: so much time commitment with car rides, early morning lunch prep, nightly homework…
