(My cousin) Tami's son Jeffrey graduated last night with honors and is headed to University. We are so proud of him. Tami wrote this, lets show some love.
For Jeffrey How will I begin to make it without you You are my strength in the midst of the storm I loved you so, since the day you were born My God gave me a gift that come to so few The moment he gave me the beauty of you I cannot begin to explain the joy you have brought When all the times I thought there was nought Not one time have you let me down And you refused to leave me with a frown You always gave me your best Even when God put our will to the test It was you my son that kept me knowing With your wisdom and knowledge we must keep going You would say to me "Mom, my Dear" Remember the Lord tells us not to fear Never a doubt once came to your mind That with God's help, an answer we'd not find Now I let you go my son, my friend To find yourself, and to lend Your hand to the next one God sends your way To give them the courage that I found today. �2008 Tami McGregor

A very moving poem that so many people can relate to. I found myself nodding in recognition. Thank you for this experience.

It is hard to let go, to let the bird fly from the nest, but always worth it. You must be very proud and it shows in the poem.
