Our little ones aren't so little anymore

In the last year, hubby and I have managed to see two of our young ones graduate from university. While we are far from the first to reach this milestone, and certainly not the last, it has been kind of surreal especially when we consider how far we’ve come. Indeed, it is only at the end of a journey that one can look back and marvel at the experience – from the first day in kindergarten through to primary and then high school.

Then came the ups and downs of getting admission and choosing the right undergraduate courses, trying hard (and failing) to understand the courses they finally settled on (because in our time there were just a handful and easy to remember; there were so many times I would have to ask, “What is the name of your degree again?”). Since this was not primary or high school, the hubby and I did not have the benefit of frequent face to face meetings with teachers and there were no end of term progress reports; we just had to learn to trust that they were attending classes when they said they were and that any reports they brought back were accurate.
