Best Graduation Moment Ever
At forty-four years young, I thought I would be the oldest graduate.
In an auditorium that held sixteen thousand people, but I still did.
I was getting anxious; my family would never find me in this sea of people.
There must have been six thousand wearing black gowns with flat hats.
Luckily my husband was late as usual; I saw them come in.
It is difficult to not notice six children, two boyfriends, and a dog.
They made a commotion, because they all like attention.
How would they see me? What to do? I was frantic for about a second.
Then I jumped up on my chair with both feet and snatched off my hat.
Began waving it wildly. Heard a familiar voice yell “THERE’s MOM!”
Best graduation day moment ever! Best compliment ever.
