It seems like Amy has been counting down the days till graduation for a long time, and suddenly it's right around the corner! Today was the first of many end of the year festivities for the class of 2009...the senior breakfast and capping ceremony. This is the time when each senior chooses an individual to "cap them" as words are read that the senior wrote about that person and why they were chosen. My guess is that some of the seniors have never told the person (usually a parent) how they feel about them before. Those are the parents who have teary eyes. And when the senior tells of a parent being deployed and usually missing such events, there are tears in the audience. My tears today were for the daughter who thanked her dad (who was in uniform) for being there today since he would be in Afghanistan when she graduated, and she asked him to be safe. But my proudest moment was seeing my Amy with that cap on her head as her kind words were read. Next up is the 3.75 dessert for the graduating seniors who maintained a 3.75 or above all thru high school. After that are end of the year academic awards and then graduation!!! By the way, Amy's comment today was "why couldn't they just give us our diplomas today and be done with it?" After sitting for 4 hours, I wonder the same thing!
