The main reason I came home was because of my nieces' and nephew's graduations. Family comes first. Such a good opportunity to share joyous moments together.
Marie and Gina graduation from high school.
A rite of passage, a mark of time.
A celebration of a chapter ending, and a new one beginning.
Little birds flying from the nest.
For my brother Mathew and sister-in-law Shelley, it is their youngest leaving home, the empty nest is theirs. For my brother Mark and my sister-in-law Diane it is their oldest and first child leaving the nest.
My mom with Marie.
The happy two, they walked in together at their ceremony.
Also, my niece Molly graduated from the eighth grade.
During Molly's graduation it was fifty degrees cold, and if that wasn't enough it rained. As the ceremony was outside, and the weather was unexpected, I gave Molly my jacket. Hence, the rolled up sleeve.
