In June a day I never thought would happen DID! 19 years ago, we got surprised with an amazing gift! To say we were shocked is a mild understatement. At 40 I found out I was pregnant. It had been 6 years since Bugs was born. We were excited. But again, we were starting over. there is an 8 year and then a 6-year gap between our younger guys. So here we were again. As time went on, we did get so very excited. On July 1, 2004, Monkey made his appearance in our bedroom in our home. It was an amazing experience. 21 years younger than his biggest brother.
Monkey is a really funny kid. We have wonderful memories of the things he has said. He makes us laugh ALL the time. When he started school, he went one day and said he got it, and he didn't want to go back. Weeellll baby boy that's not how things work. So, he had to go back. and he did really well. He's an avid reader. Read well above grade level. Gets math, REALLY gets it and likes it. He must have gotten that from his dad. He has done advanced math most of his schooling. He was involved with choir all through high school. He has a lovely voice. He did a lot of acapella with the jazz ensemble. He persevered all through covid and school. Chemistry online? Choir, online? What a nightmare.
At last, this little caboose of ours graduated from High school. We are so very proud of him. He did it in a really rough time. And he did it well. My husband's 1st son surprised us all when he came for his graduation party. It meant so much to all of us. My mom came. We had a lovely party at my cousin's house. The weather was perfect! Friends and family came to congratulate our boy.
We got them through school! Woooowhoooo! This Fall he started at the local community college. He will graduate with his AA and several important certifications. He has plans and he's going places. He is writing his own story. So proud of him.
Peace
