It's Offical
My baby is growing up! My 13 3/4 year old grandson is now a High School Student!
He graduated from middle school this morning! I was a GREAT ceremony. Him and about 200 of his class mates are headed to High School. They had to dress up, only in black and white. Black Dress shoes, black dress pants and white dress shirt and he wore a black bow tie. He looked so handsome!
Seems like yesterday I was chasing him around the coffee table trying to change his diaper. And like most boys, almost peeing in my face while I changed him.
We've had him since he was almost 1 1/2. Basically it was me alone. Wifey always worked full time and I worked for myself and took him everywhere with me! To my car lot almost daily, to All the car auctions and parts houses and they've watched him grow up! All the office ladies at the auctions just loved on him and several always brought him little gifts and toys and such. I'm getting emotional just typing this! They grow up so fast! And we've been there everyday since the first day of kindergarten.
His sorry, so called Mother didn't show up for the graduation today, after telling him for a week she would! That's low down! But me and wifey were there for him. And I told him we'll always be there for him! And he knows that. She'll have to answer to the man upstairs, for doing him this way all these years!
So wifey went on to work and I told him, we would go any where he wanted for lunch! I offered Red Lobster, Logan's, Out Back. He picked Shoneys! He has loved Shoneys since he was tiny and that's where we went! He Loves their food bar.
I gave him a $100 bill and a $50 Play Station gift card and my son gave him $50 cash.. He was thrilled. His Sorry, so called mother gave him, wait for it, wait for it! Absolutely NOTHING! Not even a phone call congratulating him. Just a text this morning saying she didn't feel good and couldn't make it! And demanded pictures. He can send em to her, I'm not. Hell, I never feel good, but I made sure I went! For Him!
So it's been a GREAT Day!
And I'm kind'a glad his sorry so called mother didn't show. But I hate it on his part! I can't stand the useless Winch! And that's putting it nicely! I had already planned on sitting across the gym from her! But God teaches us NOT to hate. But the way she has chosen pills and drugs over this child, makes me want to hate her! I always want him to LOVE her, but he don't have to like her! We never ever talk bad about her to him. Her actions do it for us! Like today. When he gets older, he'll figure it out.
Emotional Rant Over! It's been a emotional roller coaster for me all day! Watching our baby graduate, the 8th grade. My baby is growing up!
