<strong> Hallelujah! Last weekend one grandson graduated from college and was able to be part of an in-person ceremony.</strong> Students were outdoors on a football field, socially distanced in their seating, and masked throughout the ceremony.<strong> Each graduate was allowed 2 tickets, so his parents were in the stands. The ceremony was live-streamed;</strong> we were able to see it from start to finish. Students walked across the stage to receive diplomas - masked, pictures taken with masks, no hands shaken. <strong> We could lament about not being there as we have been for other grandchildren. Instead,</strong> we were delighted that a ceremony was held and that he was able to participate. <strong> We celebrated what was and put aside what wasn't.</strong> We took another important step toward normalcy, and that was worthy of celebration.
