My husband graduated from the fire academy yesterday and I was able to attend! I also got the great honor of pinning his badge on him something I was worried I wasn't going to be able to do. The only tears I cried were tears of happiness. After the graduation we went out to lunch and it was so wonderful to be able to spend some time with our family and friends. I was hurting really bad later that day but the excitement and love from the day made it a little more bearable.
