Ode to Joy

 



Katelyn Bieker

Boy, am I ever proud. My youngest grandchild graduated from Colorado State University Saturday with a major in Biological Sciences and Pre-Med. We have six grandchildren and now all have a college education. 

Best of all, all six are avid readers. 

No one can take a degree away from the beaming graduate. It means that the recipient can adhere to a goal over a period of time. With that precious degree, comes the special elation of completing an arduous task. Ode to joy. Wow. We did it.   


Katy's mother, Mary Beth, and her sister Abby help Katy celebrate this happy day. There are smiles all around. 


Naturally the whole family made pigs of themselves. The Crocketts had a little party before the special day. Too much food and temptation. What is a poor grandmother to do? 

Congratulations to all the graduates everywhere. We are proud of all of you.

Thanks everyone. I'm so happy all six grandchildren now have a college education, although I consider making it through high school one of the toughest hurdles of all. It used to be taken for granted.
