well... in spite of all the goofs and blunders of parenting... ian graduated from western high school this afternoon.
i can't say i could be any prouder. he's just one great son.
he's taken on a lot this year. more than most seniors, i'd say. he's learned a lot... worked hard... and kept smiling through it all.
i know it sounds cliche', but where did the time go?
when did my cuddly-buddly-boo turn into a man?
he's got so much ahead of him. so much potential. so many wonderful things to experience. so much of G*D to discover.
Lord... as i've prayed for him so many times before...
...thanks for my son. thanks for making him one of a kind. thanks for adding so much to our lives through him.
grant him the ability to see you next to him along the way... and the strength to follow you no matter what those days hold.
do great things in him... and through him.
protect him from all evil and harm.
and explode your work inside of him... so that the joy in your heart fills his... and spills into all he meets.
Umm...Beth, he doesn't look a whole like you does he????
Congrats to Ian and the parents, too.

I was thinking the same thing...he looks like his Mom, for sure, but when did he get so tall?
Congratulations, Ian, you are quite a guy! Of course, the Murphy's remember you as a little boy!
