The lyrics to a famous song start with, "Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be . . . ?"This week my grandson Will turns 18 and he graduates from high school. He begins a new chapter and in a few weeks will be leaving home to begin his life as a college student. There are so many things I could say about Will - I don't think there is enough space in the blogsphere to hold all the thoughts I have about him so I just want to acknowledge him in a very small way.
From the time he was born, he has brought happiness to all who know him. It is a common occurrence for people to stop me at the grocery store or at church or at the post office - just to tell me what a great kid Will is! He excels in everything he has ever done. He is an honor student, has compassion for others, has always set his goals high, and has treated everyone in his path with utmost respect.
In a selfish way, I will be sad to see him leave home because I love having him one block down the street where I can see him anytime I want but I am also excited about seeing him continue his journey as an adult and watching as he begins to accomplish those things he aspires to do with his life.
Congratulations, Will. I could not be more proud!
I love you so much !

I think the list of those of us who cannot express in words how much Will has meant in our lives is fairly long! What an awesome kid!!
