Grad day

Pomp, ceremony, the swish of gowns and three hours of endless academic yakkety-yak.

I've graduated. for the first time since I was 5, I am not a student. I feel a bit lost, actually...

My mother cried in my arms, relieved that I am finally out. The only family member in my generation (cousins and all that) to get a degree, son of the only member of her generation (my aunts and uncles and stuff) to have a degree.

And we're the only single-parent unit in the extended family.

Stick that up your statistical, broken-homes-cause-failed-kids pipe and smoke it.

Addendum
It seems Marn and I were at the same grad yesterday. Sorry Marn, I forgot to wave ;-)
