So graduation was Friday.  Thanks to Aunt Mary for watching the girls so we could all enjoy the ceremony stress free.  It was great.  Due to the amount of time to wait prior to and after bryan walked.  I did a lot of thinking. There were many moments of it feeling surreal.  Proud moments, just so proud of his persistence, brains, integrity, balance (family, work, school and God).  Moments of tearing up, I am Suzanne after all.   Moments of wanting to yell and cheer for him (though non of that reached the ears of anyone because the choked up moments would quickly come). Moments of praising God for ALL He has done in our lives for this to happen. Moments of being thankful for friends and family caring for us during this time with care and words of encouragement. A moment or 2 of wondering what is next, again I am Suzanne and though very content in having bryan back I am sure it will pick up a bit more than the past couple weeks we have had with bryan. Moments of playing with Martha’s iphone.  Pretty cool!  Moments of wishing adeline was there because just maybe she might have understood and had this proud moment etched on her heart… especially when one little girl kept yelling Mommy, mommy, mommy as her mommy walked across.  That so would have been Adeline.

God is great and we thank Him for allowing so much… for keeping our relationship strong during this time, for giving bryan the ideas, knowledge and wisdom when needed, for the time, for the ability, for the perfect committee, for timing, for him having favor at work with this project, for all He allowed while bryan was working on this, for just being Him and holding bryan through it all.
