Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 36 | I hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend. I haven't posted in a while so thought I'd drop by. Lots of things go through a persons mind when their first child graduates. I was so deeply happy that I was able to be there to see it. My bout with cancer was so miniscule when compared to most. I will do my best though to continue my education efforts so some young person will be able to see his yet to be born children graduate. Y'all take care and God bless, Curtis

Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Curtis, I can totally relate with you about the graduation. My children were in their freshman year of high school (twins) when I was diagnosed, May 10, 2002. I prayed I would live to see them graduate high school in 2005, and now I am praying to see them graduate college...SMILE! God Bless, Carol
