Seeing you all standing at the top of the hill at the beginning of the ceremony was an impressive sight.  And watching you all walk with such dignity was a delight.  I have to admit, I shed a few tears last night.  You are all grown up now.  Later, I waited for them to call your name so I could get a picture of you getting your diploma.  I was so concerned, with so many graduates, that I wouldn’t see you.  But as soon as you walked into the center of the arena, I knew it was you. More tears started to flow.  Could this be the little girl I held in my arms so many years ago? I watched and waited as you made your way to the stage.  Then, they called your name.  Congratulations, my sweet Purity.  I’m so very proud of you.  Here are just a few pictures and your Pomp and Circumstance March – forever memorialized on the website I created for you and Bea.  The only thing I’d change about the ceremony is having a camera with a wider lens. Here you are waiting to get your “diploma” and getting your diploma.  I know you REALLY got it later on that night.  You just received the jacket for it first.

And here is your walk down the hill to Pomp and Circumstance…
