    Dear Susan,
    MAJOR congratulations to both you AND John! It's so amazing to watch our kids "morph" from little ones, to accomplished adults. My daughter Anne graduates college on 5/15, and I am still stunned at how fast those 4 years, and her sister's 4 years, went.

    Celebrate John's accomplishments, and brag about him to anyone who will stand still to listen! Love the needlework; it's beautiful, and is a beautiful sentiment.
    Hooray for all the graduates!
    Cass
