Graduation Day

There were times when we thought this day might not happen, as our son has been really ill for the last two years of his time at Aberdeen. 
But he hung in there and got his 2:1 in English and Creative Writing. 
He graduated with his girlfriend last Tuesday.
They met on their second day of uni four years ago and have been together ever since
We had a lovely relaxed day, in warm sunshine, in the grounds of the ancient buildings.
And we got to have our 'proud parents' photographs after all. 
I'm so proud of my boy who has succeeded against all odds, and so grateful to the young lady who has been quietly by his side during a difficult time.
