Milestones
I'm graduating college. I'm finally graduating college. I'm graduating from university. In 8 days, I will be a college graduate. Sorry, I'm still trying to convince myself that this isn't a wild, Percocet induced dream. My one and only daughter will also be graduating this month, one week after me. She has fought one hell of a battle the last year and a half, she's done an amazing job. My little family has been through trial after trial the last couple of years. Dark shadows clawing at the health of my husband, my child, and perhaps even myself. The strain on our home has been overwhelming, but we still have a house and we still have our vehicles and we still have food. And for now, we still have a place to work. We all got this far, we'll continue to fight until the shadows abate. I still feel strange doing this at 40. I know there are a lot of people proud of me for returning and finishing, it's not something everyone gets to accompli
