The day that every mother dreads; then there are mother's like me that rejoice ~ it is GRADUATION!!!!!
Okay in all seriousness Ryan is celebrating a great deal more than his mom ~ for his mom aka that would be me ~ I am constantly fighting back tears and fighting an unnamed coach ~ ohh screw it fighting Coach A and his stupidity!!
Mama mushy time so just bare with ~ I feel I'm luckier than most ~ I have tried to always be an active and informed parent in my eldest life; much to his dismay and him being caught on things he probably now wishes I never knew and he never did; but more importantly were the ever so valuable lessons I have learned and most importantly the kids I have had the honor to call me "Mama T"!
Mike W. - You charmer you if you are seriously staying local my door is always open for you - no prewarning needed - unless of course you want me to cook then all you have to do is ask or show up at dinner!!!
Tank - TANKKKKKKKKKKKKK what can I say about you darlin' - you are cockey, confident and just plain loveable and I will miss the busting thru the door of my house and hearing that deep voice yelling "MAMMMMAAAA TTTTTTTTTTTTT"
Colton - I will never forget you being the first of the boys to protest your photo being taken; I remember it well "noooooooo nooooooo come on now I don't do pictures" But why darlin' you are so photogenic (however you spell it)
Sam - ohh dear adorable Sam - don't let that bashful smile fool you much less the quiet sometimes in the back corner nature he throws off - he knows what he wants and he strives to get it!! Good Boy!! However word of advise ~ DETAIL DETAIL DETAIL You know of what I'm talkin' darlin'!
Benny - dearest Benny so quiet attentive and formal!! You are a great kid darlin' and will go far in life, as the rest of the others, but you are just adorable!
Alex - My darlin' Alex - advise "smile RIGHT for photo's" Your ability to laugh, enjoy life and just live in the moment no matter what is dealt you is such a testiment in your great ability to grab life in the moment and more importantly ENJOY IT!!!
TNICK- OMG what can I say about Taylor N? Ohhh I could find a lot to say but what could I say that would be appropriate in this setting Your never ending zest for life, ability to laugh at danger in its face, your natural ability to attract people to want to be near you is a gift! Just remember in your furture in baseball shoving a bat up the coaches ass isn't probably the wises decision in life!!!
Javier - Your smile, your hugs, and your constant loyalty is something I will miss the most! You shine at all times, be it in fun or seriousness, it amazes me as an adult to see such pure essence in a teenager and something that I will always admire and wish you never lose in life and seriously hope you don't forget Mama T!!
Miquel - you are so quiet, the quietest member of the senior baseball class but so adorable and loveable. Never lose your drive, ability to acheive and your easy gliding loveable smile!
Jess - my darlin' adorable JESICCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAA!!! My ADD Child!! I could write a novel about you alone but will just say this I LOVE YOU BABE and please please NEVER change!!!
Last yet not least -
Ryan - How will I ever get through this - I'm losing my boys, my friend, my eldest child. You're all grown up now and as a mother I could never be any prouder! You had a dream and you work constantly to obtain that dream, you have had fears and have overcome them. You have grown into a man and a man that any mother would be proud to call her son - yet I'm the lucky mother to hold that title! Never doubt how much I love you, admire you, and am thankful that you are my son! I love you Boo and even tolerate your "gay" moments! Now if that isn't love I don't know what is
To all my "boys" you ALL make me proud! Now and always!! Strive for success and always aim to achieve your dreams!!! You boys can do it I have no doubt!! And when in town, no matter where you all might roam, know my door is always open and yes Sam I will always make you your favorite
Congradulations on your graduation the Class of 2007 and at graduation when I can't speak I'm speaking now - I am so proud of you ALL!!
Have fun - be safe - and know you are all loved!
