Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as comtemporaries. After 22 years of child raising, they are unemployed.

I can’t believe it- I am the parent of a college graduate!
It doesn’t feel quite like yesterday that I brought her into the world. Remembering those early days of motherhood seems more like walking around a neighborhood I lived in long ago — familiar, yet vaguely dream-like, with some of the important details completely elusive.
On the other hand, it actually does feel as if I just dropped off my daughter as a college freshman. While mature then, she has grown even more mature and self-assured today.
Throughout the weekend I experienced an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the support my daughter and I have received along the way. Much of it came in the form of likely candidates such as family and friends; other people though, crossed our paths for just a moment in time.
Congratulaions to you, Kathryn, and all this year's grads. May you follow the right path and have a life filled with love and happiness.
