You may be older, Jim but you’ve gained more wisdom than any diploma could represent. ;-)

My son graduated from university last week (Bachelor of Social Work) and I couldn’t help but think about how long it has been since I was in university. Seeing all those youthful, smiling, beautiful faces among the graduates brought a twinge (just a small one) of melancholy. Mostly, I was just so happy for, and proud of, my son. Thanks, Lin. Take care.
