| WE TOOK MANY PICTURES, ESPECIALLY ASHLEY, BUT SADLY, MANY OF THEM DID NOT TURN OUT TOO WELL OR AT ALL. |

| MY SON AND ME RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION 8-22-02 |
 |
| RICKY AND CORY ON FAMILY DAY, WHICH WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE ACTUAL GRADUATION CEREMONY. TO MY SHAME, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DID NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE MY OWN SON! HE HAD GROWN AND CARRIED HIMSELF VERY DIFFERENTLY FROM WHEN I HAD LAST SEEN HIM IN JUNE 02. HE WAS SO SURPRISED TO SEE US, HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY ONE WOULD MAKE DOWN THERE TO SEE HIM GRADUATE. |
 |
| THIS WAS THE SADDEST MOMENT OF THE WHOLE TRIP: HAVING TO SAY GOOD BYE AGAIN. HE HAD TO BE BACK BY 9PM ON GRADUATION DAY, FOR THE NEXT DAY HE WAS SHIPPED TO FT. LEE, VIRGINIA FOR HIS ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING. IT WAS NO EASIER THIS TIME AROUND. WE ALL ENDED UP SNIVELLING AND BAWLING IN THE CAR AFTER WE LEFT HIM AT THE BARRACKS. |
