Eddi Graduates

Out with the Boys A day before Fathers Day

Maturing

My son Christian is getting more responsible. My sister told me he is intent in changing his life and that he is really willing to finish his schooling.
That I can say what life is. It can be slow and uninspiring at times and sometimes you just know there is a beautiful thing happening in our lives.
My son Eddo is hating school and anything that has something to do with school but he tells himself that it is the only way he could get a good job. I think that mature.
Eddi is much responsible now with many things such us keeping his things in good organize way. He likes more mature movies too.
Glen is a someone we hope can start trusting himself again that he is worth more than a waste of video times.That he is as intelligent and smart as his brothers and that good things happen to patient and faithful people.

I am praying, wishing and hoping that all my boys will find their place of peace, success and real joy as they make and create their everyday life, with or without me around. I hope my mom will live long enough to see them all graduate and have their own prouder moments to share with her.

It was like yesterday when I first brought him to school. No sweat, he did not cry...he really is special, independent and very eager to learn. Many years have passed, his brother graduated last year and now it's his turn to receive a diploma. Graduation is such a sentimental event for me. I was not able to be in my elders sons elementary and high school graduation. It is tougher to see my youngest... our youngest to be almost 14 and graduating soon from his beloved Precious Blood School.

This is his draft last night and I was floored again of how amazing of a writer he is. This piece is never boring,intricately complex yet genuine and complete. Judge for yourselves.

Remember me, Eddi – with an “i”, not an “ie”. I was the kid who dressed up in the first thing I saw, the guy with bed hair, and the aggro-man. The gifted person who doesn't appear to be bright, the talkative yet shy dude, the sleepy boy – those are all me. I'm the lad who is great at being annoying, who avoids idiotic and fruitless chit-chats, and who doesn't hear a lot going outside of my head. I only ask you one thing – to remember me, because I'll remember all of you. To all those who aren't entering OCS next year, fare well; it was swell.
