Today Greg's 2nd oldest (I hate the phrase "middle child") graduated from high school - without his father. Tragic. What does an 18-year-old do with that - in his heart - in his head? How does that affect his life from this point on.
I didn't go - wasn't physically able to go (or invited). Graduation was at "the Bob" (Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware - a multi-function arena named after Bob Carpenter, a benefactor and trustee). Parking is horrendous - a lot of walking - bleacher seating - just too hard for me - plus - my heartache would pollute the happiness and pride that Amy and her sons shared today. Amy was wise not to invite me.
The graduation was streamed live - so I was able to watch the live feed and see the graduation (incredibly good quality on the live feed).
Another milestone missed.
