Graduation from high school, finally! I never thought I'd make it! It's tough to explain what an adventure it has been getting three kids though high school and now, finally, we are at the finish line.
We celebrated Willie's graduation tonight at Mimi's Cafe with 13 of us -- Karl, Judy, Willie, Grandpa, Annie, Ross, Elliott, Wyatt, Quinn, Haley, James, Molly, and Jack. We decided to do graduation dinner tonight because we could - and, because it was our regular dinner night with Grandpa. Mimi's has a wide variety of choices in the menu and is kid-friendly. We had a nice time and all is well.
Tomorrow comes the graduation itself (the action or ceremony of receiving or conferring an academic diploma, where students become graduates); "pomp and circumstance" that will likely be "full of sound and fury" and all in all the event we call graduation actually "signifies nothing" (sorry Will Shakespeare).
At least the event will involve my son, so my attention and focus will be on him and some of the kids I know who have worked very tenaciously through their public education experiences in order to participate.
