Trinity's 5th Grade Graduation 2011
I had the honor of attending Trinity's 5th Grade Graduation at the end of last school year and let me tell ya, very emotional!!! Not because this is my daughter, but because this is my best friend Sara's daughter...MY NIECE!! I know...I know...
This shouldn't have been so emotional for ME but more so for her MOTHER right?? It was, it was emotional for everyone who was there and knows this young lady! However, let me just explain why it was so emotional for me.
Well, I've known Trinity's mother for over 16yrs now. We've been best friends through all those years and even after my husband joined the military and we moved to a whole different country, we've never lost complete touch with one another. Years would pass and no communication from either of us and then, all of sudden I'd find her or she'd find me and we'd pick up right from where we'd left off the time before. I had to watch all of her daughters Brooklynn, Trinity & Ashton grow up through pictures and she did the same with my three boys. I never dreamed that I would get to see her and her daughters in person seeing how in the military you're all over the world, let alone be stationed right here in the same city she lives in!!! Yeah, after leaving our small home town in Kansas 14yrs ago, here we are stationed in Kansas again and living less than 5min away from my best friend!! I know, some would say its for a reason, others would say its all by chance. I don't know what it is, nor do I care because I get to see her daughters grow up to be amazing young women now and that's all that matters to me.
Since living in Kansas again, I have gotten to know this beautiful young lady and her sister and its been such a pleasure. Trinity is bright, fun, beautiful, loving, silly, and very outgoing. She's very involved in sports, school, and extracurricular activities outside of school and in school. Just from seeing how amazing she is thus far, I can say that I can honestly see her going far in life if she keeps going down the path she's going right now. Already she's done so much in her short life and I am so proud of her and I wish her nothing but the best in life. I hope she knows that her Uncle Clint & Auntie Amy love her so very much and that if she were to ever need anything through life, she could always call on us for help! WE LOVE YOU TRINITY!!
I have to add that Sara has done such an amazing job raising her daughters on her own as a single mother and I couldn't be more proud of her as well. I always look at her and wonder how the H*LL she's done it and continues to do it?? I know I wouldn't be able to do it on my own! I've only had to be without my husband for 6wks at the longest and it was pure H*LL on me each and every single time he went away, lol. I couldn't imagine doing it for all the years that she has done it. One things for sure though...She's done a Damn good job at doing it. I'm sure its been hard for her, I'm sure there are have been lots of low moments in her life, but I hope that she can look at how amazing her daughters are (all 3 of them) and see that all her hard work and sacrifice has paid off (if in no other way, it sure has with her daughters). As long as she continues to be a supportive, involved, loving mother...she and her girls will go far in life and that makes me happy each time I think about it. I tell her the above things all the time, and I truly honestly mean it each time I say it! I need for her to know that no matter what, she has people who are proud of her and what she's done in life. Just look at the pictures below...HOW COULD YOU NOT BE PROUD OF THAT & KNOW YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING GREAT??? We love you Sara!
This day was special to me and will always hold a special place in my mind and heart and I would just like to say "Thank You" to Trinity & Sara for asking me to be a part in their special day! I love you both so very much and hope you will cherish these pictures as much as I will for years to come!
Good Luck Trinity, Life Has Something Special In Store For You!
