Final Bows

On Sunday, the 4th of June our eldest child graduated from high school.  We are so proud of this kid young man.  The following pics & videos are in chronological order of the graduation ceremony.  Minus my crying that my baby is all grown up.  I'll spare you & all of us that.  You're welcome. ;)


With the first notes of Pomp and Circumstance, echoing through the field house, came the mom water works.  



4 years of choir, not once has he ever been placed so we can see him, without having to move, bend, twist, or reach. LOL

Sorry for the shaky camera work. It's hard to video tape when you are trying to wipe tears & keep mascara from running at the same time.  



^------- Skip to 2:45 to see Kier -------^



And now the after pictures.


Thank God that's over!



 Mommy & Daddy


Best Friends
 Goofy Best Friends


Kier & his lovely girlfriend

We are so proud of you Kieran, our Magna Cum Laude!



Thank you Wilmot for the memories, the lessons, the fun, the chance.  And thank you to all of the teachers, administration, secretaries, & staff for your patience, care, & kindness to our boy.

He can & will Go the Distance!

Love,
The Cowand Family

Final Project: Legal Analysis Research Paper Engel v. Vitale (1962)

                      Final Project: Legal Analysis Research Paper Jessica Cowand Southern New Hampshire University POL-328 Professor Kristine Tsahiridis October 20, 2024             The case of Engel v. Vitale (1962) began in New York in 1951 when the New York Board of Regents of the Department of Education in the state of New York proposed that public schools should be authorized, not required, to start the day with a non-denominational prayer (Engel v. Vidal, n.d.). Superintendent William J. Vitale Jr., who oversaw Herricks Union Free School District in 1958 adopted the proposal ( Engel V. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962) , n.d.). Five Harrick’s parents, however, felt that having a prayer was against the Establishment Clause found in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. In that clause, the First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law res...

Letter to Liam

Hello, my darling boy.  I miss you so much. It's been a whirlwind of a year that found us constantly thinking about you and wishing you were with us in person rather than in spirit, to share in all the activities. 2 years ago today you left us. I know your little body was tired and, that made your soul tired as well.  But I'm a selfish mom, I'd rather have you here with me. I still sleep with your blanket and pillow every night. I don't honestly know if that will ever stop as I love having something you loved so much with me. I love holding it while I sleep and several times I have had vivid dreams of us together, although I prefer to think of them not as dreams but as you coming and visiting me while I sleep, because that way I get to actually see, hold, and talk to you again. Your birthday is just a couple of months away now, you'd be 22 this year.  There are so many things that I still can't do without you because it hurts too much. I still watch Doctor Who b...

1461 Days Without You

  Cliffs of Moher - County Clare, Ireland My sweet Liam,       Another year has passed. It's been 4 years now and it still feels like it was just yesterday you were here with us, laughing and hugging. I am now in your room, using it as my office/craft room. Every time I walk into it I feel you all around me. If you remember, I was supposed to have the basement office we constructed before/during COVID but I am so much happier in your room surrounded by memories of you than I would be in that office. When I am in here it still feels like it's the Liam and Mom Show. Best buddies, always together. I am just over the halfway point as I earn my degree in political sciences and already feel incredibly burned out, it doesn't help that Trump and the GOP are once again in office running this country into the ground. But good news, Dad and I are heading to Italy on Monday for 11 days, it's almost our wedding anniversary.  Thirty years on March 10th. Kier and Sam just cele...
