Graduation...a time for joy...but for us..a time for sorrow. To Graduate...means going from one stage in our lives to another. For many that means to graduate from high school or college... But for some children like Dustin...it means to graduate to Heaven instead. Graduation they say...is a time for change...whether we are ready for it or not. Dustin now wears a halo...where as others wear a graduation cap. Some will walk across the stage and get their diploma...Dustin now has wings to fly. But...both are very proud of their accomplishments in life....and their family and friends are too. Dustin is still a part of his graduating class....and I hope and pray he will be remembered. And to those of us left behind....We are the ones who have become truely educated.... We have learned so much about life....family...whats important...and whats not. We have been taught that every day is a blessing...and we need to make every second count. And as another year goes by....it marks the end of a stage in our journey of lifelong learning. We hold tight to a past full of rich precious memories.... Memories that will carry us into the future. The past is a time for reflection and cherished memories...these will all help carry us forward... The future is a time for our hopes, our dreams and our inspirations. We do not need to let go of Dustin...even though he has graduated to Heaven.. For he is still with us....and will follow us into the future.... And will ALWAYS be a part of our family's hopes, our dreams, and our inspirations. We take with us what we have learned....and what we hold close to our hearts. We need to thank those who have been by our sides....held our hands...and helped us along... Those who have listened without telling us to get over it....those who have tried to understand. For without all of you and God......who knows where we would be. So to those who have been there for me...you know who you are...I thank you with all my heart. So as Dustin, my little man, graduates to a higher level...and get his "Final Diploma"... The importance of life...and what we have learned...will never be forgotten. For his name is engraved forever in our hearts...and forever in our memories. Dustin is the breath within us that gives us courage to follow our hearts... Whether here on Earth or in Heaven above...his voice will always live on...
