Graduation

Yesterday, my dear daughter Sara graduated with a bachelor in Pharmacology. The day started at 9:00 in the morning with her department’s graduation ceremony and then the University’s graduation. Everything went smoothly and elegantly. It was a lovely day.

Graduation, packing, saying goodbye to life on campus, moving back home, unpacking and packing again to leave for her summer job in Europe in a matter of days, life is going way too fast. It has not hit me yet that by this time next week she’ll be miles and miles away from home. I think I’m emotionally numb right now. There’s so much to do before she leave that I just follow the “to do list” these days. I’ll probably cry a river when she boards her plane and takes off from the JFK airport. Sara has her whole life ahead of her and these are exciting and wondrous times for her. I wish her all the good things in her new and adventurous life. May all that is good for her come to fruition. However, for the next few days I am just going to look her and SEE her, for she means the world to me.

Happy Graduation Sara!
