On Wednesday, June 3, Jessica performed in her Senior Showcase @ Weaver Academy. On the way there, the most horrible storm came up. It was absolutely horrible ! It was the worst storm I had been in years. I have attached a link, so you can see some of the mayhem in left in Greensboro. Jessica's concert had to be postponed for about 45 minutes, while the maintenance crews HVAC'd the water that got into the building near the stage. However, the concert did go on...and it was wonderful....Of course, i got all teary !

My beautiful Daughter, Jessica, graduated from Weaver Academy for the Visual & Performing Arts on Thursday, June 4, 209 at Odell Auditorium at Greensboro College. It was absolutely beautiful ceremony. She had a graduating class of 63 kids.
I had cleaned all day and cooked for about 15 members of the family and friends who would be attending after graduation. As we were walking out of the auditorium, my 82 year old aunt fell in Odell Auditorium's Foyer. She had a wound on her elbow and her back hurt. Therefore, rest of my evening was spent in an Urgent Care ! I don't want to appear totally childish, but I was totally disappointed. I couldn't believe, on one of the most special days of my daughter's life, I was not celebrating at home with her. Instead, my ex wife and her husband, basically, hosted my party at my house....and I did all the work for it ! Don't get me wrong...they were great. I was just totally disgusted I couldn't be there. It wasn't anyone's fault...It was just an accident. However, it totally ruined the evening. I, finally, get home around 11 PM. The kids' friends were still there, so I sat up and ate while they played cards and chatted. However, to add to the nights fesitivities, it stormed all evening, and my kitchen sprung a leak !! I have lived in that house 20 years and have never had a roof leak....but of course....tonight will be my lucky night !!
However, with all the Drama....I can't be any prouder of my daughter. Jessica graduated "Cum Laude", and we didnt' even know it, till that night. She didn't even know it !
I LOVE YOU , JESSICA !!
