You've come a long way baby!

Heading out tomorrow on a very special trip. I am so honored to  be asked along on this, in one way the final step of a long journey and in another way only the very beginning of another .
Angela Oakley (Known to some bloggers as DVM 2012) and to others as the daughter of Deb of Never too old
will be graduating from The Western College of Veterinary Medicine  on Thursday. Now she is finished school and working already , but this is the culmination of all of her hard work. and as her honorary Auntie Sherry (Deb is not my actual sister  but a sister of my heart all the same )I have been invited to attend !

I have known Angela since she was a tiny baby , was snuck into the hospital as a sister to her mom and allowed to visit very early on ,and have watched her grow and become the talented young lady she is today . Not only a brilliant student  but a talented artist as well

(borrowed from Never too old )Angela with one of the many Fern Valley Appaloosas foals she got to know 

 A pencil sketch she did of Fern Valley Phoenix as a Christmas gift for me 

somewhere in my trunk I have a color sketch she drew at  the age of 8 of Catana, I will have to find it and frame it for her 

And here she is now all grown up Dr Oakley DVM

Thanks to her folks Deb and Brian , for keeping me part of  the lives of their wonderful kids. And thanks to Angela for letting me share in a part of her dream ! Congrats kiddo,I will be the one in the row beside your mom &dad crying tears of joy! 

Stay safe everyone
