My mind struggled with the concept of {then – now}…
I will blame it on the marathon weekend I had just survived…
I was interpreting {then – now} as before and after…


The picture below is before graduation….

And this is after graduation…

But then, finally, my brain clicked into gear and I understood {then – now}…
I guess it may have been my brains way of protecting my heart…
Because the last thing I need right now is another reminder of the little boys that are now gone…


Oh they were soooo cute!!!!
And now they are sooo handsome!!!


Either way I’m proud – so it is a win-win…
