In May of 2025 my son graduated high school. He homeschooled from grade one to grade twelve. School for him was incredibly challenging. He did not learn to read until he was nearly twelve and writing is not something he enjoys. I often have felt like I was pulling him kicking and screaming through this school journey and it was incredibly hard for both of us. With this being said when he graduated he refused any sort of celebration. He found graduating terrifying but also because he hated the school work so much it was a relief. It has been so complicated and so exhausting and so hard and yet he did it. We did it. Along the way he had tutors that encouraged him and blessed him and inspired him. He had many moments of laughter and times when learning was amazing (he just does not remember them).
My hope for him is that he finds that who he is in God is enough. My hope is he pursues health and healing. My hope is that he feels loved and cherished and that he feels brave. Here are some photos he let me take of him to remember this season of life.
