My Emily

My Emily The years fly by, our children leave the nest; so soon their own are off to meet their quest. This month, she graduates with her degree; a teacher now, granddaughter reached her aim. With love of reading, writing, she became head of the Poetry Society and student-taught the middle school that she attended years ago...her joys to claim. English teacher now certified to shape young minds with love of words...written, read. As a poet too, the heart of this proud grandma overflows with thankful joy. Sandra M. Haight

Thank you so much, Jan. Yes, we are blessed. She is the third of the oldest grandchildren to graduate college. Our two youngest grandchildren graduate high school this June and will go off to college late August. Hugs, Sandra
