Hi there blog friends, so I have a story to tell you and need your help. My sweet daughter is graduating from college tomorrow with her second degree – she did them back to back. At first I wasn’t going to Akron because I needed to be home for her graduation then it wasn’t sure she was going to walk as they thought she was shy a credit. FSU came through at the last minute and she’ll be walking tomorrow. I’m so proud of this wonderful young woman and wanted to ask if you would help me congratulate her since I’d made a commitment to be elsewhere. Mature beyond her young years, she’s been my sweet co-pilot since she was old enough to talk. At the age of 14 when her father fell ill, we had to leave her at home for three months (under the watchful eye of John’s boss) to take care of the house and coordinate when we were in TX and her two siblings were each in a different state. Once she graduated from high school she decided to put her life on hold and go to a Florida State University extension instead of going off and living at the main campus; she wanted to be close to her Dad. The second time we had to go off for many months of medical treatment, she became home base to for her two siblings who were also in college by then. One of the most memorable moments while we were away was when the college became a stickler over youngest daughters Veterans Benefits and blocked her from further attendance. My sweet graduating daughter called a meeting with the college president, marched into his office and shamed the school for treating a veterans daughter (and veteran) in such a disrespectful manner. Needless to say, she got her way!! Just another reason why she is totally my hero! If you have a few moments please leave her a comment – her name is Lauren. Tomorrow afternoon after graduation, I’ll simply ask her to read my post since I can’t be there. Lauren, I actually made a card for you!! Look in the curio cabinet in the dining room, okay?
About the card . . . these sentiments from Quietfire Design arrived in the mail last week and were a perfect expression of what I wanted to say to her – she really is amazing and I’m overwhelmed at how she flourished under such a burden – she’s one of the strongest women I know. I designed a 5″ x 7″card with a pocket on the front that I could slip a slightly less than 5″ x 7″ piece of cardstock into. You see the You Are Amazing sentiment peeking out over the top and what I did was attached a gift credit card to the lower part of the card. It’s a simple card and I embellished the top of the pocket with a border punch. Once you flip over to the inside I backed with design paper and cut using Spellbinders Labels Seventeen. The You Are Stronger Than You Know sentiment from Quietfire Design was stamped with Memento Ink and secured with one glue dot that’s hidden by the Recollections flower embellishment.
Here’s the card with the pocket insert removed. It leaves a lot of room to either write a personal note or attach a gift card :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – You Are Amazing, You Are Stronger Than You Know Paper: Hobby Lobby Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Satin Ribbon, Lace, Stick Pin, Recollections Pearls, Prima pearls |
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for helping me celebrate another sweet occasion. I hope this isn’t TMI (too much information) but I sure enjoyed sharing one of my life’s high points!! I’ll see you soon!!
Always a sweet blessing to hear about someone’s children turning out so well. Your mom has great reasons to be proud of you! Many congratulations and praying God’s blessings on you as you move onto your next life stage and all the promises that await you after graduation!

After reading what your mother wrote about you, I have no doubt that success will follow as you reach for your dreams. Enjoy your day and best wishes to you.
Lauren,
congratulations on such an amazing achievement!! May God bless you in all that you do and direct your path! I know that if your Mama could be in two places at the same time she would be hugging and loving on you right now while yet still promoting her awesome Bow Maker in the other place!! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina

Dear Lauren,
I pray God’s abundant blessing on your life during this time and into your future. I pray he gives you a spirit that is a sweet as a dove and that he continues to use you for His glory. I hope that even in your mother’s absence you will know she loves you. I know how it feels to not have a mom there when I graduated with my Master’s degree. It doesn’t mean she loves you any less but it is God’s opportunity to give you friends and others who can try to fill the gap created by her not being there. Congratulations on your achievement now and your achievements in the future.
Blessings.

Hi Lauren,
You should be proud of such a remarkable achievement! It takes courage, a lot of intelligence and determination to achieve your goal, specially two degrees back to back.
It takes a very special person to have the determination and audacity in life to make goals and then accomplish them! You should and must be proud of yourself, not only for that but for having the courage to place your family first in adverse times, I commend you for it!
Believe me when I tell you that your mother as well as your father are VERY PROUD not only of your accomplishments, but of the fine woman that you have become!
I wish you lots of success in life, people like you are the force that this world needs in order to bring a positive change!

Lauren, congratulations on your achievement. May you continue to be a shining light as you follow the path to your future. Being the eldest comes with its own challenges and your mom has shared a little with us of how you met, embraced, and surpassed a few of them. Kudos to you for for not taking no as the final answer.
This is a beautiful Graduation Card and I love the saying. And it is great for a girl but I need a boy one. Thank for sharing and as always you do beautiful work with your cards.

It is obvious your folks did their job. Congratulations on your scholastic achievments. You seem to be a remarkable person. May blessings to you in all your endeavors.

Sue Brailey
Lauren, we marvel at the wonders of the world, but all we have to do is look at how far YOU have come. You are our future, child. And it looks like a promising future indeed. Congratulations.
Congratulations Lauren! What a poud milestone in your life! What a proud mama (and justifiably so!!!!).
I think my daughter is pretty amazing and I don’t think I am biased because I get so many compliments about her from so many people. She has had struggles and challenges in her life, but, she has not had to go through as much adversity as Lauren has.
So, I think Lauren is TOTALLY AMAZING and I think she is a hero. I think John would be SO proud!!
Congratulations on your amazing achievements Lauren! You raised her right Becca!
Happy Graduation, Lauren! For today, I’ll be a proud parent along side your mom!
Congratulations on your accomplishments. You are beginning a journey that will be blessed because of the teachings and love of your parents. You go girl!
Lauren,
Heartfelt congratulations for your hard-earned achievement.
I am an university administrator having served as a Dean or Director in several positions at three different colleges and universities. I’d like to believe I am a professional student advocate working to support student success.
As I read your mother’s story about your tenacity, leadership, and determination I am awestruck. Not having met you, but having served hundreds of thousands of students over the past twenty years, your success is an excellent example of personal growth. I wish you continued success.
Best wishes and blessings.

Congratulations! My dd is graduating from college in two weeks and I know as one proud momma how much your mom must be bursting with pride in your accomplishment! All the best to you as you begin a new chapter in your life! Hugs from Arizona!
Awwwwwww………..congratulations Lauren! How wonderful you are graduating, and good for you fighting for your benefits! You are just as amazing as your mother!
Cheri
BTW, I only live two hours south of the college, so if you want a surrogate Mom let me know, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Lauren. You sound amazing and everyone will be cheering for you as you graduate. Well Done. May our gracious Lord continue to bless you as you go forward with your life.
Congratulations, Lauren! What a wonderful accomplishment! You can certainly tell that your mom is over-the-top proud of you, and I’m sure your dad will be looking down from heaven on Saturday with a big smile and maybe a tear or joy for you, too. Best wishes in your future endeavors!
Hugs from Ohio (and I’ll be seeing your mom in Akron on Saturday!)
Hi Lauren,
Your mom give us the image of you, like you are the girl each mother would like to have.
You are a great joy in is life and very precious.
Congratulation for your diploma. and I whishe you a happy time.
I also like the card your mom prepared for you if I was near you for sure a bake a pretty cake.
Congratulation!
Francine. From Montreal
Congratulations Lauren! What a wonderful accomplishment. I must say you are a very special person, and a fine example of character and inspiration to people everywhere, young and old. What a blessing you are to your mother, and our world! I wish you all the best in your bright future!
By the time you read all of these notes, your heart should be bursting with pride. Well deserved, I might add. It sounds like you are an exceptional young women, and being your Mom’s daughter, I can see why. Anyone who can do two degrees back to back is obviously a determined person. Congratulations to both you and you Mom. Blessings, also to the both of you.
Congratulations Lauren; what a wonderful achievement you have accomplished. Being a parent, and great-grand-mother, I know how your Mom
feels not being able to share this most important time in your life. You, see, my children and their families live overseas permanently. so when you want to hug in person it isn’t possible. But God’s loving arms and prayer is always available. I know that is what is so much a part of your life too. so think of His Arms along with MOM’s and their love will be over- whelming and full of joy. You have a great Lord, and a great Mom too. God Bless You and much success in the future…….Hugs an Blessings.
Becca, what a beautiful inspiring card you have made. A treasure for Lauren, your precious daughter, from a loving Mom……hugs and blessings
This could also double as a wedding card, with changes in the wording. It is really beautiful, as usual.
Congratulations Lauren! You sound like every Mother’s dream daughter and then a whole lot more. You are an amazing woman with a big heart and strong enough to shoulder some heavy responsiblities. Please stand up and give yourself a huge pat on the back. I’m sending you a standing ovation from Montreal. I hope you can hear it. Wishing you a wonderful future. You most certainly deserve it. Hugs, Francie xxxooo
Congratulations Lauren! Two degrees back to back! That is an awesome achievement! I can see why your mother is so proud of you – I don’t even know you and I am proud of you :) Seems so many young people are lost these days (my kids included) and don’t know what they want in life. I am so glad you are not one of them! I don’t know your mom really either other than from her blog, but she is the type of person whom you feel you know and want to know better. I am sure you have inherited that quality from her. Just hearing her talk about you, it is obvious you are an incredible person. You are both lucky to have each other and I am happy for both of you! Wishing you much success in your life and may God bless you.
Thanks Becca for sharing your daughter with us today :) Hugs!
Congratulation Lauren !!!! We are just as proud of you as much as your mother is……so happy you followed your dreams…..
Look out World here comes Lauren!!!!!!
PS…Becca I love your card…..so pretty!!!…..will have to scrap lift it……tfs
Way to go, Lauren!!! I know life holds some wonderful things for such a terrific young lady!
This card is just absolutely beautiful Becca. It never is a dull moment when you make a card. Your talent is just breath taking to say the least. I have admired your work for quite some time now and I think each new card only gets more beautiful.
Jo
Congratulations Lauren, from what your mom has said, I know you will attain everything you want in life!
Becca, what a hard thing for you to have to miss this occasion, you made a beautiful card, and it sounds like you raised a beautiful daughter!
Lauren,
Congratulations on your achievement! I’m totally in tears reading this lovely graduation surprise your mom has given you. As a soon-to-be proud mother of a graduate (my youngest child graduates from Spelman College next month) who has had to overcome obstacles to obtain her degree, your story fills me with such hope — that young people who face difficult situations beyond their years, can overcome their obstacles, take life by the scruff of its neck, and be bold enough to achieve their goals and dreams against all odds. Here is wishing you all the blessings the Lord has to offer and praying you will seek His will in everything you do! Kudos!!
Have a wonderful life Lauren, love and best wishes from Australia.
Rene from OZ xo ps. you have a great Mum.
Lauren, it’s an honor and a privilege to be able to congratulate you on your graduation. You have made your mom (& Dad) proud! Your father is with you in spirit, and your mom’s heart and pride are with you. I have a feeling that you will be making your mark on the world in amazing ways! Congrats & good luck!
Lauren – congratulations! What an achievement! You sound like an amazing person (just like your mom) and I wish you the very best in the future. Follow your dreams!!!
Congratulations, Lauren! You are a credit to the most wonderful mom. In a few paragraphs she has managed to define what an extraordinary person you are. Best of luck for a wonderful, happy future.
Congratulations on staying the course. It isn’t always easy to press on when things are difficult but the rewards are greater than if all our plans had gone perfectly. I find then that praise to the Lord for His grace to succeed comes from an appreciative heart. Without Him nothing of gain is any value because we can take the credit for it. But, if we give Him the credit what blessings do we receive!!! Wishing you a life of peace and joy.
Lauren
You are a true inspiration, no wonder your Mum is so proud of you! I don’t have children but if I had any I would have loved a daughter like yourself
kind regards from Sam. (From England )
Well aren’t you lucky to have such an amazing daughter! Lauren, all the very best to you in the future and congratulations on your college degree! Hugs to you and your whole family! Maureen
Congratulations Lauren a fantastic achievement and one you should be very proud of, I know your Mum is and I’m sure your Dad is looking down on you with pride. Sending my best wishes for whatever your bright future hold for you. Congratulations from Tracy – Sydney Australia x
Congratulations to a very special lady who has made her Mom so very proud! May your future be bright with promise!
Lauren, may your life be blessed with love, luck and success. How lucky you and your Mom are to have in each other a “co-pilot.” I have that with my daughter too, and I would not surrender her love and friendship for anything or anyone in the world. Congratulations for your endurance and spirit … I wish you well as you continue on life’s journey!
Warmly,

Dearest Lauren,
Congratulations on this wonderful day celebrating years of hard work and achievement. I know your mom (and dad) are tremendously proud of you, and you should be proud of your accomplishments.
You have experienced so much in life already — sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes so crushing you don’t think you can go on another moment. But you did …. and you will.
You have proven yourself to be resilient, strong, an amazing family member and cherished daughter and sister.
May your future hold the promise of euphoric moments, total bliss, mountains of laughter, and much love.
Wishing you God’s blessings on this special day.

I can just feel the pride in your mothers words and know that there are wonderful days ahead for you. You have accomplished great things and now it’s time for you to reap the benefits. Again, may God bless and keep you in the palm of His hand.

Congratulations from North Carolina!
After knowing your wonderful mother through the internet, it doesn’t surprise me that you are the amazing young woman that you are.Sending you both hugs.
Happy graduation Lauren! I don’t even know you but am so proud of you, your mother must be ready to burst! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments! And I hope you share your mother’s beautiful faith, she is an inspiration to us all on so many levels! Blessings to you!
Lauren, May this be the first of many blessing for you.
Lauren ~ Best wishes to you in whatever path you choose in life. Your Momma is so proud of you and I know you will do well if you are even half as talented as she is! Congratulations on your achievement!
Lauren, you are an inspiration to so many! Congratulations on your journey and determination through kinds of problems that would have stopped many in their tracks. So sorry your Mom can’t be there, but she’ll be there in spirit. Good luck to you in the future – you’re on a solid road, for sure!
Rachel
Congradulations, Lauren! What an amazing story! We are working through an issue for my youngest son with his current college of choice in regards to Veteren benefits…so your story is an encouragement to me to keep going.
May God’s blessings be upon you as you approach the next stage of your life.
Sweet Lauren,
I am so proud of you today and everyday. You are an amazing example of what every woman should be…determined,ambitious, strong, loving, couragous and devoted. I cannot remember one time that your Mom ever expressed even the slightest disappointment in anything you have done. That in itself is such an accomplishment because I know Becca expects a lot from you. Holding down multiple jobs while trudging through class after class would have broken a lesser person. Hold you head high as you walk across the stage to graduate knowing that both your Mom and your Dad are there in spirit cheering you on.
Sending you all of my love, Kelly Vaughn
Lauren, Congratulations!!! May God Bles you in whatever path you may take. Your mom is so proud of you, we can see the smile on her face when she talks about you. Best wishes for the best life ever.
Hi Lauren,
Well darling there is a saying ‘Tough times don’t last, tough people do!’ and it seems to me that you and your mum together, are two strong and outstanding women who have not only coped in ‘tough’ times but have seen them off too. It has been heartwarming to me to read of the love your mother has for you within her words on this blog. To then read of your great love, the love that you showed for your family in some extremely tough times, made me so proud; proud to know about you and your family. We will probably never meet sweetness, but I have one last thing to hope for you:-
Congratulations to you Lauren, may your burdens be light and your road unfailing beneath your feet as you journey into the next phase of your life.
Always remember to look to your mum, she will always do her best for you ‘cos that’s what mums are for. Bless you and your family.
Regards Linda x
Congrats Lauren! You are off to a great start.
Shine on.
blessings,
robyn
Congratulations, Lauren! I am assuming that big hearts run in your family, so I am sure you know how much your mother must want to be there for your graduation. Everything your mother wrote about you was wonderful but not surprising after reading her blogs for so long. She sounds like a very special woman so it stands to reason she would have very special children. Her pride in you comes through so clearly. Sounds like you are on your way to a great future. Blessings to you on your special day!
What a wonderful young women, congratulation to Lauren. Beautiful card!!!

Lauren, I’m wiping tears from my eyes as I type and I send you every good wish for a truly amazing day tomorrow. You deserve it.
Many, many congratulations, not only on your academic success, but also on being such a treasure. May your future be blessed.
Hugs from across the pond.

What a wonderful blessing you are to your mother and your whole family. My husband had a rough road to travel like your father and I know how much you stepping up meant to your mother. We don’t get to choose our family but often times God sends the right angel to the family who needs them the most. Thank you for being your families angel! Congratulations Lauren!!! For you not even the sky will be your limit!
Dear Lauren, Congratulations on this auspicious accomplishment. Your mother is so proud of you and even though I don’t know you personally, I am equally proud. It takes a very special person to carry on the way you have, God bless and keep you safe though out the rest of your journey through life.
Congratulations Lauren! the best of luck in your next adventure. You have Avery sweet and talented Mom,ad it seems you will be following in her footsteps. the very best to you. Josie
Lauren, you are a very special young woman, and getting to know your mom just a little through her blog shows me why. God has used you in such a beautiful way over the years as you stepped in for your parents when they had to be away from home. I know that meant more to them than words can express. I have been reminded this week that our loving heavenly Father sees us. He knows all about us. He loves us so much. He has a plan for each of us. Dear Lauren, God sees YOU and He has such a special plan for YOU. I wish you all the best as you step out on your new venture. He has great things in store for you. New things can be scary at times but God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7). You have exemplified this in your life and will continue to do so. You are so special; you are a shining star! I know God will continue to bless you and continue to make you a blessing to others. God sees you!
Dear Lauren,
Congratulations to you for your accomplishments. May God continue to lead you as you embark upon the next chapter in your life. May His goodness and mercy continue to follow you. Remember, you are inscribed in the palm of His hand.
Congratulations Lauren!! I know that your Mom is very proud of you, and your many accomplishments! Follow your path.
Lauren, Your mom’s story about you is amazing. I faced some of the same challenges but at a much more advanced age and I can tell you that it sounds like you handled them Much better than I. Congrats on the degree. You are destined for wonderful things. God bless.
Congratulations Lauren! You’re an amazing woman, just like your mother. Best of luck to you in wherever your dreams take you!
Congratulations, Lauren!!! WTG!!! Bright, strong, determined, caring, thoughtful and AWESOME!!! Shine on, young lady! We need more with your values and committment! God bless you, always.

Congratulations Lauren…You deserve all the accolades that I just know are coming your way. You worked hard to achieve your goals, and sounds like you provided a lot of support to your Mom at a time when it was sorely needed, another big thing in your life to be proud of. My daughter got her degree from FSU, had a similar problem like your Mom described (with the missing credits), so we can really empathize with you. I’m so happy for you that you went ahead with what was the right thing for you to do, and worked hard to get where you were headed. Many best wishes to you, for whatever path you decide to pursue, and thank your Mom for all her blog buddies for sharing the beautiful card she created for you. Blessings.
Congratulations Lauren for a job well done. Best wishes for all you want to accomplish in the future. Your mom is so proud of you and so are all her blog friends.

Cindy
Lauren,
First let me say how much I like your name. I have always liked it and so tonight I looked up it’s meaning. One meaning for Lauren is to be “crowned with Laurel” with Laurel being a sign of Honor and Victory. After reading your Mother’s post I would say you live up to the name your Parents so lovingly gave you. Congratulations on being successful in your studies, and as you graduate may you find a path in life that will fulfill your hopes, dreams, and aspirations…. I believe you are already well on your way. All the BEST to you, a beautiful daughter of John and Becca Feeken.

I congratulate Lauren for completing 2 degrees and for the maturity to help her family manage through some very trying times. Congratulations and may you have a wonderful life!
Well rats, Lauren…if I’d only known all this time that Becca’s baby was here in Tally, you would have gotten some free meals and surrogate hugs! Congratulations! If you are still in town Sunday night at 5:30 pm., come out Thomasville Road to almost Chiles High School and join in my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen birthday event at Siam Bistro. They are closing the restaurant for our celebration. We will make it a joint one and honor you too! We already have another FSU new graduate joining us.

Patsy Eccles in Tallahassee, Fl and a FSU alum.
Dear Lauren – So glad your mom gave us all this opportunity to congratulate you on earning your college degree. It is quite an accomplishment – something you can always be proud of. Always remember to live your life with arms wide open!
Lauren, it’s obvious how much your Mom loves you. It’s also obvious that you are a very strong, determined, and smart woman. It’s to bad that your school got their wires crossed so that your Mom can’t be there when you walk across the stage and receive your second degree. So when she asked for notes for you, as you can see there were LOTS of responses. But then we all know that your amazing, after all you are your Mother’s daughter and she is and AMAZING woman. Congratulations to you!
Wishing you and your Mom both joy,
R/
Congratulations my Dear I know how hard life has been for you and your family this past two years.

Congratulations Lauren! To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. God bless you on your graduation!
Congratulations Lauren. You’ve been such a blessing to your mom. Know the world is a better place with you in it. Blessings to you and your mom.
Congratulations, Lauren!!! It’s no surprise you’re as AMAZING as your Mom says! ‘The apple rarely falls far from the tree’, we know!!! Enjoy all the beautiful fruits of your labors now that you’ve graduated — you’ve earned them!
Congratulations Lauren, You are truly an inspiration to the young people today and a daughter that every Mom wants to have. You and your family are truly blessed.
Congratulations Lauren, I wish you all the best this life has to offer. I read your mom’s blog every day and I get great inspiration from her and hope to share it with the rest of the world. God bless both of you!
WOW…every Mother needs a daughter like you!! I know I have one and love her as much as your mother loves you! Know she is there with you as you walk and is proud of you as you take every step. Congratulations to you and your wonderful Mother.
Dear Lauren, Congratulations on your accomplishments. Through the most difficult times of your life you have come out ahead and stronger than ever. The world ahead of you will stand aside when you go roaring through it. Best of luck.
Congratulations Lauren, you sound like a lovely woman and as you can tell your mother is more than proud of you. Wishing you all the best in your future!
Lauren, while 2 college degrees will take you far in the world, your mother has given us two examples in your life of qualities you have that will take you even further. 1. compassion for the underdog. You stood up for what was right for your sister under daunting circumstances. 2. putting your wants and needs behind someone else’s needs. You put your entire family’s needs before your own. Anytime you can practice self sacrifice you will become a better person for it. Your inner qualities combined with the knowledge you have gained will help you in whatever field you are entering. I am sure you know and understand that your mom’s heart is heavy that she cannot be with you, and please also know that you have GREATLY honored your father by your example and your accomplishments, they are a testimony, not just to you, but to your parents too. Wishing you the best, Lisa
Congratulations, Lauren, on your graduation and blessings on you for being such a great daughter. May your light continue to shine brightly as you step out to a new future. (I love your mom’s blog.)
Congratulations, Lauren!!! You are an inspiration and a beautiful daughter! We can’t wait to see how God’s plans manifest in your life as you continue to be a shining light for so many who love you!
God’s blessings to you, Lauren!
(Becca -Gorgeous card emulating great LOVE!!)

Know your mom will talk about her blessings and you are right up at the top!!! We all feel blessed knowing your mom and now her beautiful family, truly an honor!
Dear Lauren –
I wanted to add my voice to those sending their heartiest congratulations to you on the occasion of your graduation. Quite an accomplishment, and one for which you should be most justifiably proud.

Lauren, Congratulations on your graduation and love to you from all of your mother’s blog friends. Because she is so special to us, we feel a special bond with you after reading her email today.
Lauren,
WOW! You did it!!!! AGAIN! What a great accomplishment. There is a famous quote that I love that comes to mind in your case.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…..
It’s about learning to dance in the rain. You did that in life. No matter what
was going on in the life of your family…..you danced ……
I pray for you today that God will guide and direct you in and through this new season of your life and beyond.
Thank you for sharing your special day with us. GO GET EM’

She is so special, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet her today in Akron– I know she would have preferred to be with you but I really appreciate your willingness to share her today and every day, as well. It says a lot when a mom says her daughter is her hero— isn’t it usually the other way around? You have so much to be proud of. Enjoy that feeling!!!

This is so lovely and delicate as is all of your projects.
Many congratulations Lauren on your Graduation and for the amazing strength, courage and support you have shown and given to your mother over the years. You sound like a young lady that can only have been borne from true love and consequently while your parents are not with you on your special day in person they are within you always.
I wish you much love, health and laughter for whatever path you choose to follow in the future. Good luck in whatever you do.
Querida Lauren, por la palabras de tu mamá vemos a una hija que ha sabido superar etapas difíciles que te han fortalecido, Dios también manda etapas muy gratas para tí y los tuyos y ellos también te fortalecen, muchas felicidades por este logro
Lauren,
Congradulations on your new degree. One degree is difficult but two is outstanding. I wish the best for you and your Mom. You are giving her a great early Mother’s day present.
Congratulations Lauren! Sounds like you are a very strong, loyal and smart young woman. I believe you inherited those traits and have taken them to another level. Best wishes to you for a wonderful and blessed future.
CONGRATULATIONS! THAT’S SO AWESOME TO HAVE DONE WHAT YOU DID AT SCHOOL. BEST WISHES IN ALL YOU DO.
Congratulations on your achievement. It’s important to know that you have been loved every step of your journey. Your dad is smiling in heaven right now. You mom is so proud of all you have done to succeed in life. May all your dreams be at your door. Again. Congrats! Lila
Congratulations Lauren, whilst your mother is extremely proud of you, you should also be so very proud of yourself. It was you who did the hard work to achieve your outcome under what seem to be very difficult circumstances. I hope you realise all your dreams.
Congratulations! It takes a lot of courage and commitment to pursue AND achieve your goals. May you have the best of success as you move forward into your bright future.
Oh, Lauren, what a wonderful daughter you are! It is one of life’s greatest thrills to feel such pride for one’s child; and you certainly have done your parents proud! May God continue to bless you and those you hold most dear . . . Congratulations! Hugs, Magi
Congrats on your graduation Lauren!!! All the best with your future career and life. I missed my daughter’s graduation last year because of a bad back and back operation. I am housebound, so understand how your Mum feels missing your big day. I watched my daughter’s ceremony livestreamed so i was able to feel somewhat a part of it all. Once again well done.
Congratulations Lauren on your accomplishments, and displaying many of your strengths to honor and support your family in the process. With such attributes, you are sure to succeed at whatever you choose to do with your life. Hope your day was wonderful and your future awesome. Thank you for sharing your mother with all of us.
Hi Lauren

Lauren
I have read your mum’s blog message about you and wish to let you know that I think you are a courageous and inspirational young lady and obviously a credit to your mum and dad.
I have a wonderful daughter who is just coming to the end of her second degree also and when I read about you it sounded a lot like her.
I wish you everything good for your future.
Kind regards and blessings
Dianne (Lancashire, England)
Lauren, you are an amazing young woman and a great daughter. God has blessed you with a loving and supportive family and he has blessed you greatly. As you go into the world, let your light shine for His Glory and your parents thanks.
Congratulations, Lauren! You have accomplished much in your young life and through the trials and tough times you have persevered and grown stronger. You should be proud of achieving this second degree and I’m sure you will use it to launch yourself into many more accomplishments. Wishing God’s blessing on you as you start this new phase of your life.
Hugs, Judy
Lauren,
I have a daughter who as it sounds, is quite a bit like you. I know how much pleasure, comfort, and how proud I am of her, so I know what your Mom is feeling right now. I also know that your father is smiling down from the heavens on your accomplishments as well. You have a wonderful Mother who is incredibly talented and such a sweet and kind person. You know what they say about the apple not falling far from the tree???? Congrats on your accoplishments and best of luck in all your future endeavors. You have done both of your parents proud!!!!!
Best wishes and much happiness.
Marcie
God Bless you Lauren and congratulations! You are truly an amazing young woman and a tremendous blessing to your family. Best wishes and a prayer for your future.
Hi Becca
Just want to thank you for (remember this) the 5 1/2 Elegant Fold envelope you introduced. I hosted a stamp camp featuring fabulous folds this weekend, and the ladies loved it — split decision on whether they liked to use of clockwise or counterclockwise folding–I thought that was interesting.
Thought you might like to know that the directions become simple, easy peasy if you have the diagonal plate for the Simply Scored Tool from Stampin’ Up. Just score the 2-inch furrow down to the midline as your instructions indicate. Then, instead of making and following all the tick marks as you anchor and rotate the paper, you just score the diagonals on all four sides at the 4-inch furrow! And it’s done.
We loved it. And all the ladies are probably now going to be following your blog because of all the praises they heard about your creativity and generosity in sharing!
Bless you!
Lauren, congratulations on reaching such a high point in your life. College is truly something to reach for and you did it with two degrees. I hope your life is full of happiness. I know God loves you since He was wise enough to place you with the parents you were blessed with.
Have a wonderful “rest” of your life.
I forgot to mention that I am sorry I missed the day of the posting and am late with the congratulations. I have been out of town for a week helping with the plans for my son’s wedding this past weekend. He is 42 and finally found the perfect woman. First time around for both of them.
Again….Congratulations!
Lauren you sound as remarkable as your amazing mom. Congratulations on your accomplishments, it hasn’t been easy I am sure. May you always be a role model for everyone who crosses your path, I know you mom is an amazing role model. Hugs from Arizona! God Bless!
Lauren, thanks for insisting your mom be elsewhere, even though it was such an important day for you!! Your mom just BEAMS when she speaks of you! Congratulations on this achievement!
Congratulations, Lauren!!
You are truly an inspiration to today’s generation. You are so goal oriented, and passionate about your dreams and achievements. As an educator, I am totally impressed with your perseverance and know you’ll continue to be a role model for the future leaders of tomorrow.
What a wonderful story Becca and what a courageous, grounded, strong young woman your daughter is- just like her mum. Congratulations on your graduation Lauren. I wish you all the very best for your future whatever career you decide to pursue.
Lauren: Congratulations on you back to back accomplishmenst. Not only is your Mom proud of you – so are we in Blogland. You are a testament to other young people who have less of an excuse to become successful. Stay grounded in your faith and love for your family. Now go BLLAZE the trails in which you were destined. God’s got your back! Wishing you much success.
Congratulations, young lady. Your mother is obviously very proud of you and for her to share a couple of stories put a smile on my face…as I hope they will for you. I wish you all the best of luck on your next chapter of life!
What a wonderful glimpse into your world Becca. Great news on your graduation Lauren. Well deserved and worked hard for. All the very best to you both now and into the future

You are truly amazing and one that someone will be glad to have working for them when you start your career. You have supported your parents during a very difficult time and accomplished your goals as well. Well done!
