Carson Graf Graduate

Today I went up to my son’s home to attend my grandson’s 8th grade graduation. I was underwhelmed about how my son’s family played the graduation. My son called it just a ‘promotion’ and my daughter in law was coaching my other grandson’s soccer game right up to the beginning of the graduation ceremony. Even my grandson, Carson, 14, downplayed the event. I guess with the addition of middle school 8th grade graduation has been diminished.

I did feel the excitement of graduation when I walked into a packed gym at the Middle School. With over 250 graduates the gym was full of parents and family members. With some music from the Jazz ensemble with my grandson on percussions, the choir and few student speakers the graduation event went on. My eight year granddaughter was glad we sat near her 2nd grade classmate so she could visit during the ceremony.

Even though it was an ‘Oh by the way graduation’ for the rest of our family, it was a big event for me. My grandson, Carson, is moving on to High School and in life. Congratulations Carson!
