I really wish he could crack more smiles/share joy :D And yes - well done that man :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks caff. He is so series at times. But he can smile now.

Eldest has been a properly poorly boy for all of his life but we didn't know until 6 years ago.
Supported, incredibly well, by his work place he has worked so hard in his own time to gain his own degree. He missed out last year by 1 mark. (B+ at any section of any stage of any exam is a 'fail').

After a traumatic year and successful recovery, and retake of his finals, I get to go to a ceremony and feel even prouder, smile even wider.
(I think new shoes and handbag might be in order Jo :D )

I just had to share :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sounds like he thoroughly deserves it, enjoy the ceremony and the shoes :)

I know how proud I felt last year when Grim Jr put on her hat and robe, I can only guess at the feelings when they've had to battle adversity too. Take plenty of photos so you can keep reliving one of the best days of your life.

Cheers

Grim

Natalie doesn't have to work on Monday so it's a nice three day weekend for us :)

I was considering cooking for her today but didn't want to poison her ;)

Oh and the land line being broken is great - no one is pestering us at all :)
