Our oldest, AGL, finishing up middle school with 8th Grade Promotion today,

Marking this day of educational fortitude and human development, child becoming an adult, on task academically, even excelling, and finding her way into, through adolescence,

Sensing where she’s been, what realities have been, who she wants to be, taking a cautious swing, making contact,

Excited and happy and thankful, to high school next and all that will be,

Go AGL, GO!
