our son, shannan, has grown up so very fast...
he is 18 and ready to graduate high school and start a new journey in his life...
college at saddleback...studying kinesiology and transferring to cal state fullerton...
he has big plans and god willing, his dreams will come true...
he's had a lot of trials during his high school career...
he started out freshman year very excited to be a part of the football team...when entering his sophomore year he tore his acl on the field during a play...after surgery, he decided not to play football because he found his love for lacrosse...
he played lacrosse his sophomore and junior year and in may of 2012, while crossing the street on his skateboard {in a crosswalk} he got hit by a car and broke his wrist in the fall...through many hours of physical therapy and practice, he tried to hit the lacrosse field once again in his senior year, but found that his wrist could not handle it...
he was super bummed and still is, but through all these trials he is pushing on and move on...
next week, he will be graduating, and we celebrate that!
he has decided to have surgery on his wrist the week after graduation and we are praying that the outcome is good...we are praying for god's hand in his life now and always...
we love you so very much shannan...
seek god in all you do...
xoxo
