What Now, My Love?

Paul and Brendan Hanrahan - It was great seeing
him again, as he has been away at school all semester.
His sister, Bonnie was also graduating, so he was
at Parkview High School with his parents.















We made it to graduation day with no surgeries
or hospital visits!! A very big sigh of relief for us all.
Paul noticed there was a clasp undone on Mike's gown -
Paul always notices very small details, which is something
new about him after the accident.















Michael, Jon, Cousin James (my sister
Mary Beth's son), Paul and Jon
Look's like you're ready to go Mike!
















We gave our approval on how he looked
and he grabbed his cap and headed over to the
high school 2 hours before the rest of us.
There were around 575 students graduating and
gauging how long it took us to get our 4 sons
out of the house on time for church each Sunday -
I was surprised they only needed 2 hours to get
these students ready!















Michael - Dad and I would feel better if you
looked a bit more confident!















With your brothers by your side - you have a
great support system Michael.
James, Michael, Jon and Paul -Brothers Fidero!















Anne, Michael and Marie - (What a blessing these
2 beautiful young women are to our family!! They
help make up a great supporting cast for Michael)















Michael surrounded by 3 very influential women
in his life - Aunt Kelly, Aunt Mary Beth and
Aunt Bevy (left to right)















Michael's ready to give Lisa Hanrahan a hug.
Her daughter, Bonnie, also graduated.















Little James ran to meet Paul and Judy, as they
brought Abby and Emma over after a walk.
This picture is out of sequence - this was in the
afternoon before Michael's graduation.















Lining up for some of the last pictures taken on the
field at Parkview High School. After attending 8
graduations, I know they are ready to move on
to new events! Aunt Kelly, Aunt Bev, Paul,
Aunt Mary Beth and Uncle Jim.















Jon, Anne, James, Marie and Michael pose for one more
picture before we called it a night and head back home
for ice cream! (The graduation party was not
until Friday night since we weren't back home until about
11 PM. While teenagers have the energy to go on and
party - Jon and I don't!)















The very next day, 5/26, James turned the big
21 years old! For 8 years his birthday was a day
or 2 later than the graduation of one of his brothers
or his cousins (Bev has 4 children who also graduated
from Parkview). Only his 18th birthday was he able
to be the center of attention - since he graduated that
year!















Paul gave Jim his birthday card and a check for
$46.12. James asked him about the amount and
Paul said he was going to write it for $45 then
decided that since it was James 21st birthday,
it was worth another dollar and twelve cents!
















Marie and James - he is holding a bottle of
German beer that Marie gave him for his birthday.
Cheers and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!
