GRADUATION DAY
I've been to quite a few graduations in my day. They are full of anxiety and excitement, family and friends, 'Pomp and Circumstance' and lots and lots of caps and gowns. This year Son #3 is graduating from high school. Why is it that his first day of kindergarten is so clear in my head? […]
