Julian
First of all - Congratulations on having wonderful Grandparents in Bill and Dondra!
and of course super CONGRATULATIONS upon your graduation.
Even though we here on Chordie will miss seeing you in your cap and gown, we would never miss this chance to tell you we’re proud of you as well.
It took a lot of hard work to reach this goal. You had to show up every day, whether you felt like it or not. I hope you feel great about what you’ve accomplished, and I hope you’ll continue to be a person who shows up day in and day out for those things that are worthwhile and important in life ( including playing guitar !)
Your graduation day is a proud day for you and a dream come true for your family as well I am sure.
It’s a beautiful thing, watching someone you’ve always loved growing up and getting one step closer to their dreams - so undoubtedly, this is a wonderful day for you and those that have had that pleasure ( a.k.a. - Granpa Bill and Grandma Dondra).
As far as learning guitar Julian - remember this.......
Music is like a time machine - it can take you back to favorite moments of the past, it can move you forward into new experiences, and it can soothe the soul of the present like nothing else can .
Congratulations today on your graduation and best wishes for all your tomorrows !
I am sure your Dad will be looking down and be bursting with with Angel Pride when you walk that stage to get that diploma!
Enjoy the Day with your loving Grandparents!
Jim
