Day 2,807

Growth:

So many similarities between all major life events – graduations, weddings, and even funerals. Celebrations of individuals shared by many others, all offering a common bond of shared humanity. Time to connect, to share, to hug, to love, and to create new moments while celebrating old memories. No wonder we all flock to events like this, they help re-center us on appreciating the humanity within us all.

Appreciation:

I cannot even being to thank everyone who helped to make Dominic’s graduation party as successful as it was enough. There were so many who helped out, replenished food, ran out to buy more water, helped to set up, stuck around for help, and provided an incredible amount of support throughout the entire weekend. I am so thankful for each and every person who helped create a wonderful graduation party for Dominic – it wouldn’t have been the same without you! Earlier this evening I was moved to tears as I considered all the ways everyone helped out and pitched in, truly overwhelming and so greatly appreciated!

Presence:

So many interactions with so many throughout the party and the day – each was a gift in its own way. Hugs all around, so much love and support, to many moments which be kept in mind for years to come. Huge thank you’s to everyone who helped to make this such a magical and memorable day!

Thanks!!!
