The big day: Graduation photos


Well, it’s official: Janelle is a college graduate! She graduated on Saturday, and needless to say, it was a rather emotional day for us, especially considering all the obstacles she’s overcome to reach this milestone. But that’s also what made my heart sing — to see her so genuinely happy for the first time in years. I snapped some photos of the big day that I’d love to share…

My mom insisted we take some photos in various permutations, of course before we left the house. Coincidentally, we took my graduation photos in the same spot 7 years ago! I had to make sure I got some pictures with Janelle since she’s so camera shy…

The stadium quickly filled up with proud friends and family of the graduates — more than 1,000 graduated! Can you believe it…?

I can just imagine my father looking down and smiling; it was nice to feel like he was with us somehow. I just have one question, though: When did she grow up? Congrats, Janelle! xoxo

    She didn't…

    That picture of both of you brought back to my memory all the pictures you shared of you and your sister while growing up – the bubbly you and the serious cute pixie.

    Wishing your sister the Best on the new Ventures. [I love that sequence of "Filling The Stadium". Hope her Life – her Professional Life – is like that, little by little, (full)filled]

    Thank you for sharing, Sweet Heart.
