I think my favorite photo is the last one -- a "mistake" in that it all blurred. Except that it perfectly captures that brief moment God gives us children -- and tells us we have to let them fly. Twenty-two years -- and just a moment.
The photos were taken by either my daughter-in-law Stephanie or my wife Janet.

one of those absolutely wonderful days!
ReplyDeleteand yes, a little hard on the hearts of the parents.
Yes, it does seem to pass in a blur. Congratulations to you, your wife, and your son.
ReplyDeleteIncredible day :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all!
The last photo reminds me of the verse in James that says our life is just a vapor ... congratulations on such a special occasion.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Glynn to you and your son and family.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful and joyous event!
That last photo is remarkable.
That last image is a perfect summation of my own feelings at seeing my only cross the stage on Monday at Gallatin/NYU. It was the next day that it hit me. He's flying now but perhaps not entirely (ye/I hopet) on his own.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The pride is obvious and what wonderful smiles all around.
Wonderful day! Congratulations to you all -- you've done well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son, and to you. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm seventeen years into parenting. My youngest is five. It has been a blur since day one.
ReplyDeleteI so loved this.
Lots of love and respect evident from the radiant faces. What a thing in our world. A WHOLE, Wholesome, Healthy, Holy family. Loved the last tear jerking picture. Glynn, the patriarch.
