I hope the graduation ceremonies will be rescheduled at a time that is more appropriate so that your daughter will get to wear her new dress and the vintage black Angora sweater.

Yes, please give them extra hugs...and one or two, please, from an old Texas mother whose daughter was about to graduate from high school around the time the Columbine incident occurred and which mother remembers sitting in her office the next day scared to death for her daughter to be at school. Nothing happened to us, but I remember my own fear and I can only imagine that fear being amplified by actually being in the same location.

I wish you peace and comfort.
