She is SO beautiful. Receiving her diploma tonight made me so proud. I cried. I’m so happy she has had this opportunity. She has grown up and learned so muc hthis year. She has an awesome teacher, Terri, whom also received a plaque tonight in celebration of her 35th year of career in arts.

Pictures coming soon…

On this doorstep I stand

year after year

and watch you leaving

and think: May you not

skin your knees. May you

not catch your fngers

in car doors. May

your hearts not break.

May tide and weather

wait for your coming

and may you grow strong

to break

all my webs of weaving.
