On Thursday my son will graduate, and YES I will cry like a baby.

There are no words to describe how proud of him I am, and excited that this day is here... 

This is a quote that describe Colby! 

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it,

if you can dream it, you can become it.”

He has always "imagined" such big things, and he has achieved so much and over came so much, his DREAMS have always been HUGE!   I know my son will keep on dreaming and will keep achieving!!!! HAPPY GRADUATION COLBY SHANE!! 

Now if you know Colby's story you know that we were told this day might not happen.... 

When Colby was 3 months old he (and my mother and I) was hit by a drunk driver while he was in his stroller.  The Dr's said that they could not guarantee that due to his head trauma that one day he could just stop learning. And he has struggled but he has over come and a has done so much!! 

Never would I have thought my son would be riding SADDLE BRONCs!

I want to say thank you to all of you who have always been there for my son!!  1st to GOD and then to Barry Adams for coming that night of the accident and helping save my son life

To all my family and friends who have shown so much love and support!  My friends have always been FAMILY.  Penny & Dick Severin for being like grandparents to my son and taking care of him when I was in the hospital!  I can not name all of the wonderful people who have done so much for us for all of these years!!  

But it is because of each and everyone of you that Colby is where he is today!

 

I love all the memories we have shared!

Colby has tons of love for his family!
