Talon graduates!!!!


I have a son who graduated from High School yesterday. Talon Bryce Pitchforth. It was nostalgic as I thought back through the years to him in his superman cape, cowboy boots, light saber, and football helmet days. Yes, he wore them at the same time and didn't want to wear pajamas. I would make him wear pj's and then come in later to check on him and he would be asleep wearing his pj's- and the cape and the saber. I remember him jumping off couches tackling Tyler and the sheer exhuberance on his face as he would run from or chase a brother through the house. He was a screamer and wanted to be held all the time until he was about 18 months old. My neighbor would come over and take him for a few hours a day, so he wouldn't cry and crawl around the house following me if I had the audacity to put him down. He was the cutest kid in school. Three Kindergartens- poor kid. Germany for 4th and 5th grade. Then a brand new middle school. Then a brand new High School. Now he has graduated. He will be off to BYU HAwaii this fall for school and then on a mission, then back to school, marriage and so on. This summer is my last time to really spend time with him. Where did the years, and the days, and the hours and the minutes go? They were like water through my fingers. I miss him already. I love him. I love my Talonator.
