Graduation

May 26th was a very emotional day for Marty and I. My son, Robert, graduated from Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA). All his hard work finally paid off. Graduating from FUMA was no easy task. Robert put forth his best efforts and graduated with an advanced high school diploma, with college credits. We were joined by his grandparents; his girlfriend (Katherine) and her family; as well as his friend, Cammie. We're always proud of Robert. However, the moment we heard his name annouced and saw him walking down the stage with his diploma in hand, we realized just how proud we are of our Robert, who is turning into a very mature young man (versus our little "Bobby").

"Congratulations Robert. May you fulfill your dreams and enjoy life to the fullest. Remember, you can achieve anything you want, just 'go for it.' We love you very much. " - Dad and Mommy.

If You Believe
Your diploma means a future without boundaries,

A world that's full of energy and fun.

So as you reach for all life has to offer,

Remember that you're second to no one.
Pursue your goals, yet keep your loved ones close,

As you utilize your talent and ambition.

Let your friends and family give you their support,

And you'll master every challenging transition.
And always, Robert, know you can achieve

The things you really want, if you believe.
