Graduation...a time for joy...and for some..a time for sorrow.
To Graduate...means going from one stage in our lives to another.
For many that means to graduate from high school or college...
But for some children...it means to graduate to Heaven instead.

Graduation they say...is a time for change...whether we are ready for it or not.
Some now wear a halo...where as others wear a graduation cap.
Some will walk across the stage and get their diploma...others now have wings to fly.
But...both are very proud of their accomplishments in life....and their family and friends are too.
They are still a part of this graduating class....and I hope and pray they will be remembered.

And to those of us left behind....We are the ones who have become truely educated....
We have learned so much about life....family...whats important...and whats not.
We have been taught that every day is a blessing...and we need to make every second count.
And as another year goes by....it marks the end of a stage in our journey of lifelong learning.
We hold tight to a past full of rich precious memories....
Memories that will carry us into the future.

The past is a time for reflection and cherished memories...these will all help carry us forward...
The future is a time for our hopes, our dreams and our inspirations.
We do not need to let go...even though they have graduated to Heaven..
For they are still with us....and will follow us into the future....
And will ALWAYS be a part of our hopes, our dreams, and our inspirations.

We take with us what we have learned....and what we hold close to our hearts.
We need to thank those who have been by our sides....held our hands...and helped us along...
Those who have listened without telling us to get over it....those who have tried to understand.
For without all of you and God......who knows where we would be.
So to those who have been there for me...you know who you are...I thank you with all my heart.

As our children, our heros, graduate to a higher level...and get their "Final Diploma"...
The importance of life...and what we have learned...will never be forgotten.
For their names are engraved forever in our hearts...and forever in our memories.
They are the breath within us that give us courage to follow our hearts...
Whether here on Earth or in Heaven above...their voices will always live on...
