My son's high school graduation is going to be sad!  One of his senior classmates died in a car accident heading to church on Sunday to do a reading.  I feel awful for the parents!  It has been a tough week and the school is doing a memorial mass tomorrow.  They are going to honor the boy at graduation by having the seniors wear a memorial pin with the boy's picture on it.  He was a great kid!  A good kid!  It is so hard to understand.  So sad! 4951

@calliecat:
Is this one of the Kingwood High Schools?
 
I will be attending my first TX graduation on Saturday.  We never did it in Jersey like they do here.  Our graduation was at the stadium of our high school.  Granted, we only had about 300 kids.
 
I am very sorry for the loss of this boy.
 
Congrats to all the graduates and parents. 4951

@dotti573My son goes to a private school downtown, Saint Thomas High School.  Their graduation is at Saint Thomas's football stadium.  I went to my first TX graduation last year and I thought it was awful!  It was at Reliant Stadium.  It felt so cold and impersonal.  It was like an assembly line.  As soon as the graduation is finished for one school another school is lined up waiting for their turn. Back in the Northeast it was always at the school's football stadium.  I guess here not all of the schools have their own stadium so they have to have it at Reliant.  We also have a mass at my son's school with food afterwards for the seniors and their families.   4951

My ds graduates just after @goldengirl's ds. She and I are in the same boat. What now? This empty nest thing is already killing me and he won't even leave for college until August.
 
What's funny is that we raise them to have wings and fly. Then when they do, we cry.
 
My prayers go out to the family and friends of that young man. Such a tragedy. Emoticon 4951

@QueenBYesterday I am ready to kill my kid (only kidding) but then I have to stop and think about that poor boy's family and how lucky I am!  I know I will be crying when my son goes off to college. 4951

@calliecat  That is so sad.. It seems that evey year you hear about Seniors passing away shortly before graduation....  It is so sad I can not even imagine that as a parent.  And for a young person to be taken at such a happy time in their life.... @QueenB   We may need to have a monthly support meeting!!!!!  I will miss my boys something terrible... And since they work for the Auction, along with your son it is a double whammy !!!! 4951

@GoldenGirl: Great idea! I have had children since I was young. I have no idea what life is without someone to take care of. My mom says it will be wonderful to have an empty nest. I think it will suck. 4951

@ctl74: I know just how you feel. But in what seems like about 2 weeks yours will be graduating and you'll be joining me and @goldengirl for a weep session. Just be sure and bring your own tissues. We'll be out. Emoticon

I love my DD to death but I always say, my DD is the best birth control for anyone.  One day and one overnight with her and you will rethink having one.
 
Luckily as she has gotten older she has gotten much better.  Now she is 9 and knows everything. 4951
