Good morning everyone hope your day is a good one, and that your stresses are minimal!!!
Jay and his fellow classmates graduated on Friday, and what a wonderful day it was! Filled with joy, inspiration and emotion. My family looked wonderful the boys were dressed in suits and as warm as it was at times they kept their jackets on most of the night, even with everyone encouraging them to take them off! They were proud of their suits Tanner even managed to keep his white dress shirt spotless. lol.
Jay looked amazing so handsome, grown up, I was a proud mama! Jays' Nana and Papa and Uncle Chris and honorary Auntie Lisa were also there supporting Jay and also Granny was there for Jay and his Cousin Bailey on this very special night!
I was gifted the opportunity to do the toast/speech to the graduates, it was such a great honour and although I slightly embarrased Jay, and turned it into a speech, lol, he let it go and was proud of me for delivering a decent toast!

Here is the poem included in the speech for Jay and grads to reflect on through the years!
Embrace your future
Congratulations graduates we are here to honor and celebrate your success!
12 years of school completed, a foundation to build from, you are now preparing to leave the nest
Your Family, friends and teachers, we are all so very proud of you tonight...
Your commitment, and dedication, the great journey that awaits you while you continue to search for your passion and light!
Graduates Believe in yourselves lift that bar high and follow your dreams,
Listen to your inner voice, drown out others, be courageous, and dare to be extreme
Live life with great purpose, some mistakes will be made do NOT be afraid to fail or fall
Live life without regrets, reach for greatness, and above all
Learn and remember the lessons, for there are many, and live in the moment as you all find your way
Life is too short to live little, have faith, stay strong, love deeply, be happy and celebrate your life everyday!
