And I even got to hug my oldest. My younger one doesn't take well to hugging to be honest.

Sadly the 8th grade recognition ceremony was just officially canceled w/o any future date. I was hoping they would get a re-do.
But my oldest is still very optimistic about going to Reynolds. The teachers & facility did what they had to with near perfection. And luckily but sadly they had just had drills of the exact scenario about a month ago.

I'll try & make up for it. And I'll do a family set of pics documenting her fabulousness.. But it is sad that her night was spoiled by the events.

She impressed me with her positive attitude I'll say that.

My condolences to those lost. So very sad...

Thank you for the replies..
