Three Homeschool Graduations

Hello, my name is Sue,

I have 2 children that have graduated in 2002, we made this day grand. My daughter had her hair done at the salon and a long stretch limo picked her up.  Inside the limo I had placed gifts from us (parents).  This gave her time to reminisce of time past and the future.  We then had the limo pick up our son, they both rode to the church in the limo and we had a full graduation ceremony, caps, gowns, diplomas.  They had their favorite hymns sang and I sang with my daughter.  They presented roses to special people in their lives and gave an essay to the crowd of people that had effected and encouraged them in life.  It was not a place for a dry eye!  This year our other son is graduating too, we will do the same thing, the limo brought and will bring them back home and we had a huge party with all of our friends and neighbors!  Last year was Luau style, this year is the 3 stooges! lol...  Homeschooling is wonderful and we need to make graduation special, we don't do proms and dances, so this time is truly a special event!  This year there will be an afghan that I have made for my son in the limo.  I hope this encourages others to realize homeschoolers can make this day bigger and better than a public school graduation!!!!!!

Sincerely,
Sue McNabb
Mother of 5 precious children (ages 19, 18, 17, 13, 10)

Gift Idea: A T-Shirt Quilt

This is just an idea for parents looking for that something special for their child for graduation. I had someone make a T-shirt quilt for my son. I had collected his sports T-shirts, home school T-shirts and he had out grown some of those special T-shirts with scripture that were very special to him from mission trips. A sweet dear lady took these T-shirts and put together a quilt. My son will graduate May 8 with ten other home school friends in a special home school graduation. I am so excited about the quilt and to see his reaction. The hardest part is waiting until May 8 to give it to him on his special day. This gift is so special because as I look at each quilt square I see part of my son and the life he has lead and what a truly Godly man he is becoming... and then I cry!
