    Default Daugher


    From College
    Single mom holding down two jobs and put herself thru college 4 years
    Dad is bum, no support payments, calls the kids about every two months.

    Her graduation was in Indianapolis

    It was nice trip........the grandkids got to see both sides of life

    They got too see 3 panhandlers (bums) sitting on the sidewalk with cups begging for money. Were they ever surprised.

    Then they got to see people going for masters degrees etc.

    So Pa used that as life lesson,..........you can either panhandle or shape up and get a degree.

    There was one speaker there that I hoped made impression on the kids.
    She quit school, got married 3 times when back to school, and got college degree with 3.94 GPA she cried as it took her 38 years to get her life on track.....she had standing ovation.

    My daughter carried 3.74 GPA here are some pictures

    Sometimes it take a while for young people to get on track and get their head screwed on straight, life lessons can be very hard at times but sounds and looks like your daughter has put it together and even done it without a man in her life congratulations to her and you.

    She deserves congratulations and so do her support people. Two jobs and children plus a 3.74 gpa indicate they can do it. I hope the next chapter in their life is very rewarding!

    Thanks for sharing...good luck to you also.

    Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

    And we act like this Nightstalking thing is new.

    For some excitment, read the next verse. A special guest arrived, they filled their coolers and had a fish fry on the beach...in the morning. My kind of people.- Bowfin
