In these strange times, it sometimes feels like the only thing that changes is the length of the grass in the yard. We have, however, finally reached some significant milestones.
Exile #3 is done with High School studies, and has collected from school her graduation cap, gown and tassel, plus a very bright and shiny honors medal. She’ll get to use it this week in a socially distanced filming of her graduation walk. Picking up the gown was a moment of loveliness in the midst of many disappointments, as teachers and counselors stood at the curb cheering for each student that pulled up.
Exile #4 is also done with work and we got to go to her awards ceremony virtually. She picked up an award for being on the Honor Roll, plus awards for excellence in Geometry and History.
I picked something up myself - this sign - that we are displaying on our front lawn, along with many other local parents of seniors. Its a bit corny but it’s actually quite special to walk around the streets and see them all out there.
Congrats Exile#3 !
