This was taken at Graduation, 2012.
Graduation when the sweet Brady was graduating, and my dear friend, and fellow Panther Mom, Wendy, would be sending her sweet guy off on a new adventure.
What a great, fine young man she has in Brady, and in his big brother, Brett.
Throughout the past several years, I have looked to Wendy for advice. For words of wisdom. For sweet encouragement, or just for a little bit of glitter, as she too knows what it is like to live in a house of 3 guys, lots of stinky clothes, girlfriends taking away their time, many many trips to the grocery store to restock, but lots of hugs and snuggles too.
I can't even count the times that I have listened to every piece of advice she has to offer, listened so intently, because I knew she had already traveled the path I was wrangling my way through at the time.
I have cried many tears to her, and she has been so gut-straight honest.
And so, it brings me to this.
These Panther earrings.
She brought them to me at graduation, the official night that Mason becomes a Senior, and she "passed the torch" to me.
Oh, my goodness. Even now, it just put a lump in my belly!
The pressure!
She passed these to me, as I still have several years to go in the Panther Stands.
Oh, sweet Wendy. I treasure them so, and I thank you for loving me as much as you have in these past years. I can only hope that my two sweet guys turn out half as wonderful as yours.

So, I knew that I had to wear them to the games, so I added the Panther to my necklace!
And I am so very much in love with it! I can't wait to sport it at every game!
