My beautitful wife, Tracy, is celebrating her graduation, today, from Chapman University College with B.A. in Psychology. I am so proud of her and all she has accomplished.
We went to her graduation ceremony a few weeks ago, and it was fun seeing how excited she was. Not just a I'm-pretty-happy excited but a genuine deep-in-the-bones happy. I don't know if I have seen her that happy since our wedding day. I was so proud.
I love you, sweetie.

Our wedding definately tops graduation. But, I suppose I am pretty happy. However, if it were not for the support of my wonderful husband, I probably would have given up at a couple points. It also helped that all of my family was so proud of me. I don't think I realized how happy I was until I saw how happy you all were for me. It's really been great. The party was a blast. The graduation ceremony was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive friend and family base. And I surely could not have asked for a better way to end this phase of my life and begin a new one. I am overwhelmingly grateful.
Dear Tracy,
The Lord gave us beautiful weather for your party. He also gave us wonderful friends and family. I am so very proud and happy for you. Tracy and Derrick are a truly loving married couple that I deeply care for. I suppose I missed the boat in being the one to give the toast to you. I had planned such, but was superceded and removed of the honor unexpectedly by a guest. In as much, the party was wonderful! I love you, appreciate you, respect you, and am proud of you!
Love You,
Dad
It was a very nice party. Thanks go to Tracy's parents for opening their homes and wallets for this very special occasion.
I don't think the guest meant to replace anything you had planned; I know we would not have minded hearing from you. And it would not have meant anything less, I am sure.
Congrats again, Tracy,
Derrick
Derrick is absolutely right. It would not have meant less by saying something after him. However, that is not what is important to me. I know how you feel, and that is what counts...you have told me personally how proud you are. Derrick didn't get up and say anything, and that doesn't bother me one bit either. I know exactly how he feels and how proud he is. I wasn't expecting that from anyone. I think, for that guest, that was his way to express his thoughts. For you and mom and derrick, you showed me through support, encouragement, coming to my commencement ceremony, and throwing me a really great party. No worries.
Thank You. I have a tear that represents loving you as a child, loving you as an adult, and loving you forever. Tracy, thank you for loving me, regardless of my faults. I have many, and your forgiveness is what feeds my being.
I love you so much,
Dad
