the first since he passed away in December. I asked my sister if she wanted to get together - we always did - just to honor the day and be together, and she unloaded on me. So she's in her feels, and that's fine. She can do what she wants.
I'm going to ask my mom if she wants to get together. She may and she may not.
That doesn't leave ME in a good place, because I would like to be together on Sunday, but one cannot force other people to feel or want to do the same things.
Other than that, I bought a 4 pack of my favorite summer beverages and at some point, I see myself sitting in my favorite Adirondak chair sipping a delicious adult beverage and contemplating life.
On Tuesday, my mom and I head down to my niece's highschool graduation. you have to love the highschools in and around DC - they are SO BIG they have to hold their graduation ceremonies at Ampitheater's and basketball stadiums. I think this year we're heading to George Mason. 2 years ago we were at a concert venue for my nephew's graduation. His class was over 1,000. Niece's is around 700, so it will be "short."
my entire HIGH SCHOOL was a little over 800 kids and that was for TWO TOWNS!!!!
