          We all get home and ate lunch and after that it was all a blur.
   The ceremonies were at 1 and Lizzie was a Valedictorian so she had to be
there about 15 mins. early so she could give her speech.  Yes, Janet and I
are very proud of her she had to go in and straighten up her hair and make
sure her makeup was straight etc etc.
    My son and I just stayed out of my Janet's and Lizzie's way after 22
yrs of marriage and being a parent for 17 yrs. of marriage, I have learned
that is the best thing to do.
      About 20 mins. later Lizzie came out with Janet and Lizzie looked so
beautiful.
       I went over and hugged her and I said," Sweetheart, you look so
beautiful you are a mirror image of your mom and my wife."
        Janet came over and hugged and kissed me and said," You were always
a sweet talker."
         We all went out to the Mustang and I held open the door and the
back seat for her and she just slid right into the back seat and my son
went into the passenger side of the back seat.  I than let Janet in and I
closed the door for her and climbed in and put up the roof so as not to
mess up Lizzie's hair.  I drove us to the high school and I let her out of
the car and also my lovely wife Janet and my son climbed out of the car and
we made our way to the football field.  We went to the bleachers and I got
out the camcorder and Lizzy met up with the principle.  She saw us and
waved, that brought back memories for me when i took her to her first day
in school and waving at me before going inside that big building and now my
little girl was waving to me before stepping into that big world.
     Well after that all the graduating students were told to sit down and
than the Mayor came up to speak.  He spoke about the future belonging to
all the graduating students and how it was up to them to make their mark in
the world.  He spoke for about 30 mins.  and than he sat down and than it
was Lizzy's turn.
       She was breath takingly beautiful I know I am partial since she is
my daughter but she was.  She spoke about how we are responsible for goes
on in our town our nation and our world.  She said how our parents have
worked hard for our well being and to mold us to be good citizens and when
she said that she looked at Janet and I and smiled a big beautiful smile.
She finished her speech and sat down.  After that the Salutatorian stood up
and spoke and I really don't remember what he said which is unfortunate
since he is Lizzie's boyfriend but she was enraptured by his speech.
       After they spoke the principle started reading off the graduates and
that just breezed by.  We all got in the car and we went to the fanciest
restaurant in town which I reserved 3 weeks in advance as a surprise for
Lizzy.  When we pulled up in front of the restaurant she squealed.
         She said," Oh daddy I can't believe this you brought me here."
          I smiled and said," Well, you are grown up sweetheart even though
you are still my little girl."
         Janet looked at me and said," This is nice honey but answer me
this please how are we ever going to afford this."
          I said," Honey, I have saved up for a month, I took my lunch to
work, and I did some extra work at work so I have saved up for our
daughter."
        Than Lizzy looked at me and said," You shouldn't have done that dad
you work enough already.  No wonder you came home so tired I would have
appreciated less daddy.  Mom is right how much is this going to cost you
what $200?"
        I laughed and said," This is no problem for me your mom and I are
comfortable enough and I haven't cut into your mom's and I vacation fund or
anything else."
       After that we all ordered than our meals came and we enjoyed our
suppers.
     Well that was a great evening Janet and topped it all off by making
passionate love to each other.  Lizzy spent her summer getting ready to go
to University of Wyoming and taking time to go out with her friends
occasionally and before we knew it I took her to catch the bus to Laramie,
Wyoming so she could get settled in her idea not ours.  But at ther bus
station we said tear-filled goodbyes. She boarded the bus and I thought one
child has left the nest and it was feeling a little more empty already and
I looked at my son and thought to myself he will be leaving soon.  I took
my son and my wife into my arms and walked to the car and surprisingly my
son didn't pull away especially since he was a teenager.  Before I know it
he will be leaving and I will be retiring and I will be looking forward to
spending the rest of my life with Janet.  My hair is getting grayer and my
step is slowing just a little and of course now I
 have been wearing glasses now for close to 10 yrs. now.  And to think this
all started when I first spotted Janet engrossed in that book at the
University bench after I made my delivery and striking up a conversation
about 24 yrs. ago.
        Janet looked at me and said," I know what you are thinking and I am
thinking the same thing.  I am so glad you made that delivery to my
alamater you have proven to be the greatest love of my life and the best
father to our children you can be.  You have been a marvelous provider and
also the best husband."
        With that I had to stop and give her a passionate kiss and we made
our way to the 4 Runner.  I don't know where our future may lead us but I
am not concerned since I have Janet by my side.  Within four years John
jr. will be graduating and his future looks bright as he too is a good
student and a great son.  This may end this story or I just might write
about John jr.'s graduation and my retirement if not I can tell you that
the future between Janet and looks extremely bright.
