OG and I have both enjoyed being empty-nesters, and I bet Mike and his wife do, too. I'm thrilled for Ryan--he's such a fine young man and primed to take the world by the tail.

They are the product of the love you showered on Mike as a child, a true success story, and you have every right to be over the moon proud of both of them, because you played a big role in making them the good men they are. You go, girl!Mackenzie Crownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495228596521457813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-59404394486898742772016-06-03T09:46:20.406-04:002016-06-03T09:46:20.406-04:00I've been avidly following Ryan through you, f...I've been avidly following Ryan through you, for years, not just because he's a wrestler (and my husband was a coach of wrestling for so many years), but because your grandson is both smart and altruistic. You've done well with Ryan's Dad and he passed that goodness to his son. In many ways this is your graduation party, Vonnie. So the men of Warrior Falls are in good hands...and we look forward to their stories!

Not surprised Tara did awesome. That was expected, but it didn't seem as weird at home without her as I feared. I'm sure your son will cope just fine.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-74468348842785074062016-06-03T05:55:28.014-04:002016-06-03T05:55:28.014-04:00Enjoy all that pride swelled up in you, Vonnie.
