# 31 The month started out with a huge blessing for me...

My son has been working on his final port-folios. Many of his class mates graduated already end of last year, but he needed more time to complete his courses. The last semester he worked especially hard to complete all requirements for his under-graduate degree. Monday morning, he went to campus for his oral exam and just after 11am I received a text from him telling me that he passed the exam! I double checked with him what did it mean and after he assured me it meant that he is now eligible to graduate I broke down and cried...

That was happy and proud tears, of course!

I think we often take more pride in our offsprings' achievements than our own. Congratulations to your son

Thank you! He went about his day like it was not a big deal - I think I was a lot more excited than he was...

Thank you! I'm proud of every little thing he achieves, but this is such a major achievement and I guess I'm just a bit overwhelmed...

Indeed... He's a very laid back kid and, honestly, I was quite worried that it would take him a longer time to graduate... Thank you!

@ElizabethWallace You're so right once again... I spoke to my husband afterward to give him the news and it was like a surprised news to him... Obviously, he hasn't been worrying a lot about the whole process of our son trying to graduate like I have...

@sishy7 Mothers are always stressed out for their kids. Can't speak for fathers.
