The convocation that was...

I was reading a post this morning that spoke about convocations and commencements and what you take away from there. In my convocation 3 years ago...
  • I remember the girl who gave the convocation address in my bschool but not much of what she said. I do remember the look in her eyes.
  • I remember the award I received, but more clearly I remember my father standing and applauding madly when I received the award.
  • I remember the boy who I walked with in the convocation march and sat next to during the convocation. My friend. Who was there at my wedding to see that I don't fall off when I was carried in to the wedding and who smiled proudly at me and A after the wedding. Who stood by to see I didn't fall off. During the wedding, or years earlier in school. Thanks N.

I remember the people who were there and still are.

Commencements and graduations have a charm don't they? Glad to see you back and very happy :-)
