Brady

This kid graduates from high school today.

And I get to go watch him.

Just so we are all clear, I am not his mama.
I don't pretend to be.
He doesn't need me to be that.

He is not my son.
He doesn't pretend to be.
I don't need him to be that.

Now that that is out of the way,
it needs to be said
That I couldn't love him more
Or be more proud
If he was my own.

I've been around long enough to realize that 

that

is special

and rare.

So even if I don't fit in

to a clearly defined "role"

with this kid

....that's okay.

Cuz I'm still
one of his biggest fans.

And he
still holds a special place

 in my heart.

Congrats on your Graduation, Brady!
