March 31 - Kay's Graduation

As excited as my daughter is, I woke early to prepare for this day. I have to look my best, too. I am going up the stage.

I took a rest last year. This is not even new to me. But this time it is different. My daughter is graduating from high school. "My worry is over. She had proven herself. She made it," I sighed while writing a short fable in Filipino for her the night before.

High school graduation is just the start, I know. There will be another phase in her life that she has to face and she will be deciding more for herself. But she knows I will always be there for her, as always.

I hope she had fixed in her mind what the chaplain said about KNOWLEDGE - that it is simply knowing right from wrong, or good from bad.

the graduate requested... off we went to STAR CITY, with the rain threat

she had a good time, she took advantage of the RIDE-ALL-YOU-CAN ticket

I wonder who had enjoyed the most..

and tamed after a while...

with special friend... that made her day

We were home past 11pm, tired and very sleepy but really happy. They were all laughing at me when I promised myself I would never ride that Flying Carpet again. That terrifying ride took my wits off! I never tried the Viking in fear that it would be worse.
