SO…“If you’re going to dream….Dream Big.” This was a phrase my mother often repeated to me throughout my life, well into adulthood and one that I tell my own children constantly. Today I sit in a crowded venue with other families bearing witness to my first-born son realizing one of his big dreams…graduating college. This moment is bittersweet. I am thrilled for him and the culmination of this particular journey. Yet, I cannot help but reflect on my mother and how thrilled she would have been to share this moment with him. This moment is a dream that my son and mother shared in their own special way. So, as I wave and cheer for him I wipe tears and whisper a prayer for her. And to everyone who reads this remember: if you’re going to dream….DREAM BIG!!!! Have a grace-filled day.
