I Don't Often Cry!

Recommended Posts

As the title says I don't often cry but I just have :o but tears of joy/happiness and utter pride :(:(:(

 

I think I have shared in the past the struggle my third son had during his schooldays and how his dream to join the Police Force has been the toughest of uphill battles. He served as a 'special' locally but his dream was to join the regular force. He has faced so many setbacks and rejections and yet without fail as stood up and tried again and again. Finally he was accepted by the Metropolitan Force and started his training with gusto but since then has been injured twice on duty and forced to have several weeks off whilst broken ribs and other injuries healed.

 

So why I am a crying - because he has just come home and presented me with tickets for his passing out parade :wacko: xD :rolleyes: Through sheer guts and determination he has achieved his dream and it was suddenly all too much and I sobbed xD There will be no prouder mum in the land than when we go to London to watch the parade :unsure: ;)

 

I have had many proud mum moments over the years between my four sons but this just tops the lot.

The nice thing is that his brothers also think his achievement is simply 'the best moment ever'

Well it couldn't happen to a nicer person Geraldine - clearly you are at the heart of a close and loving family and you deserve to enjoy a lovely day out to celebrate your son's success, courage and determination.

Here's a kind of 'before and after'!

He was in the local paper (aged 6) after writing to the local police station asking to be a policeman for the day. They did a sort of 'jim'll fix it ' day for him and this was him arresting the reporter. The second one is a couple of years ago when he won an area award for his work as a special constable.

What great news Geraldine!!

 

Don't worry about the tears!! They are tears of joy and I'm sure it meant a lot to your son seeing them.

 

Enjoy shopping for your outfit and advice from my sis-in-law, who has experience of these kind of occassions would be to take a comfy pair of shoes with you, not for the occassion but for the car journey on the way home, although if you feel the need to put them on earlier, there is no shame in it!!
