Something positive

We were just talking about how life is getting harder as days passed by. But in the middle of it all we were blessed with children who hold education in high regard. One of them is about to graduate from college in a few weeks. We are thankful that no matter how difficult the financial situation is we were able to support our daughter’s college education. We are more thankful that she managed to maintain her (partial) scholarship all through her stay in the institution. We are only paying 50 percent of her total tuition.

I told my husband this development in our lives is the best Father’s Day gift he could ever have more than the worth of a musical device that he likes (from this site http://www.guitarcenter.com/Line-6/Spider-IV-15-15W-1×8-Guitar-Combo-Amp-Black-1274034483007.gc. My husband is teary eyed but I assured him we will be okay.

Last term

Naomi has finally completed her second internship program and she’s on to her last term for this school year. She would soon graduate from college and begin a path that she wants to take. Hubby and I are thankful that we were able to support her education despite the limited resources.

(Oh, before I get too emotional here, I have to check on musicians freiend for new musical instruments to review.)
