D18 graduated HS today. Yea ! Feeling a little nostalgic, sad really. Before you know it, they've grown up. My folks and MIL were there and everyone got along. No one wanted to take anything away from D18's day. It was good, though typically stressful. 30 minutes late getting to the restaurant for lunch due to traffic problems. But all's quiet now. S13 went tubing with a friend with a boat. XW dropped of MIL and remains out. Folks are on their way back to Palm Coast. D18's making plans. I've finally got my feet up. Another milestone passed.
Forgot to add: I regret that I cannot share these feelings with D18's mother like a proud couple should.
Except for this journal, it's a kinda lonely experience.
