I'd think that I am moving towards the later part of the second stage.
Attended my daughter's graduation yesterday. When we got home she had said she didn’t feel much at graduating. I told her I shed some tears that morning in the hall because the occasion is a major milestone in my life. And of course the doa was beautiful and the varsity song was poignant. The band played nice jazzy music; interspersed with soft gamelan throughout the ceremony.
It certainly doesn’t feel like it was that long ago since she was a baby. Lionel Richie was singing ‘Hello, is it me you are looking for?’ then. But here I am twenty-something years later writing about her graduation.
Certainly there are thousands that graduate each year. But when one of your own graduates, it is a big deal. It definitely is a major milestone in my passage through this life.
