Graduation Day

In a little more than 14 hours from now, our middle son Alexander will be walking across the stage to accept his High School Diploma from Minnetonka High. It has been a long hard road for Alex since we moved here from Southern California. Being the new kid from a strange state, he had many challenges in getting used to the academic standards, the weather, the kids, and the pull to want to go back to California. A lot to deal with for a 14 year old. But, from adversity comes opportunity. I have to say that Alex never gave up, even in the darkest of moments. This certainly could have gone far differently, with grave and unfortunate consistences. He worked extremely hard to find his own voice, make friends that love and accept him for who he is and make a future that is bright with opportunity. I am from the bottom of my heart proud of him. He is my son, and I love him very much. God bless you AJ, enjoy the day as the momentum builds to the ceremony tonight!
