Hey, he’s got a good voice, too. Four good people here: the son, the mom, and both university presidents. I needed this today.

11. I teared up before I played the video.

Was blubbering by the end. Was amazing to watch my mom graduate, too. This here is over-the-top, beautiful, that they shared the day so exquisitely.

12. Like any mother, she put her child's needs ahead of her own

... because that's what mothers do! I find it heartening that the Chancellor of the Central Michigan University understood the situation, and chose to honor her too so she wouldn't miss out.
