Tonight, high school seniors in our neighborhood participated in a parade, a way for them to celebrate the accomplishment of graduation. For graduates and their families, continuing in the age-old tradition of graduation is a big deal. And because they piled into pick-up trucks festooned with balloons and banners and drove through the neighborhood, we all got to celebrate with them.
In speaking with my kids over the past couple of months, I've told them how we are living through history. I've told them that their grandkids are going to ask them what it was like to basically stop all activity and stay home for a couple of months in the spring of 2020. I don't think, when this all hit, that high school seniors believed the shutdown would cancel the last three months of their high school career. The things we didn't know...
As they trucks drove by, the guys looked cool, and the girls were all smiles...I guess some things never change.
It was fun to see neighbors, to share in their their joy, and experience an historic parade. Let's hope we never have to do it again.
