Nothing crafty today ... but the BIG day is finally here!

Happy Aloha Friday everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything, but hopefully I'll get back to it soon. Thanks for following me and being patient. Today is the day my son graduates from high school. Lots of mixed emotions flowing through me and my family. Excitement, worry, joy, anticipation ... because my son has had his fair share and more of difficulties during his short life, this day is such a blessing to us. My son has been the victim of bullying since he was in the first grade. This followed him all through his school years, even as recent as last month. It's been a very difficult and extremely long journey for him and even more so for me as his mother. Seeing your child so broken and hurt is something I hope none of you mothers will experience. But I guess, that's life. God has been a huge part of my life and I wouldn't have made it without him. My son is finally starting to realize that God is there for him as well, and has been with him during all those difficult moments.


I'm off to start our busy day and night. Take care of yourselves and teach your children well. I know I did and still am. I can't wait to see what the good Lord has in store for my son! Have a great weekend everyone!
