We held our 2005 graduation ceremony on Friday night. Our school of 120 students sent 37 off into the larger world. These flowers were given to me by seniors during a section of our graduation we call the Rose Ceremony. Each flower was given by a senior to someone who they felt was important to their success.
This is the best bouquet of flowers ever created. Each flower is different and beautiful, just like our students.
One student told me that she wanted to give me a flower, but didn’t have enough. She told me that she was giving me a "spiritual flower." I really liked how that sounded. Spiritual flowers, I’m guessing, don’t require water, and never, ever die.
Here’s to the Class of 2005, and the amazing stuff they’re about to do.

Bud,
I’m sure those flowers and spiritual one made your day if not your year. Congrats!

Roses are red, violets are blue — the graduation speakers rocked and one of them was you! Thanks for your presentation Bud. It matched the beauty of these flowers and the graduates who gave them away!
