Congratulations Joe! My son (my baby) also graduated high school on May 21st. We're very proud of him. He'll be off to the Merrimack College honor's program in the fall majoring in Biology/Pre-med. His dad and I are so happy he'll be staying local. It was a close call at first while he was weighing his options for either UCONN or Merrimack and we think the distance was the deciding factor for him. Merrimack is only a 20 minute ride from home and although he's staying at school, its close enough for him to come home if he wants to. The academic scholarships they offered also covered 1/2 of his tuition which was pretty hard to pass up, mostly in today's economy.

Its going to be tough letting him go in the fall but I know he'll do great things.

Yep they grow up fast and we are getting older. And we never stop worrying about them. Little kids, small worries, big kids, big worries.

Funny, when my kids were little and I complained and said that I couldn't wait for them to grow up my mom would either just stay quiet or laugh. Now with a 22 year old and a 17 year old both home I know exactly what she ment.
