Kate's Graduation

My future wife got her doctorate last weekend and I was caught speechless watching her walk across the stage. I leaned forward in my seat and tried to keep the tears welling up in my eyes from dripping down my face. It was the first time that I watched Kate accomplish a big dream, one that she had been working on since I met her. When she walked across that stage I caught myself thinking that’s my wife, my sunrise smile, my lost dreams, and a part of me, and I have been proud of her from our beginning.
