Prada heels and a drunken midget

We went to my niece’s high school graduation and I missed everything but her walking up to get her diploma as I was engaged in my way too high Prada heels chasing Tin up and down multiple flights of stairs outside in the lobby and across the marble floor as he wobbled and lurched and crashed like a drunken midget. When my niece accepted her diploma, my loud family was screaming Woo Hoo – with me flanking the left where I had walked to with Tin and the core of my family in the center rows. Her sister shouted, “That’s my sister!!!” and we all did another Woo Hoo.

Well, we got the audience going which started this whole wave where the next kids were greeted with “That’s my brother” or “That’s my cousin” and all the way to when the very tall guy next to us turned and said, “That’s my little boy” as this very tall and stocky kid accepted his diploma.

I can’t believe Miracle Baby graduated from college, baby Sara graduated from High School, my older brother’s baby got married all in one year. In the blink of an eye life happens. Shut your eyes tight right now and try to capture the essence of this moment because it is sweet but fleeting.
