Meghan's Graduation

Friday, December 14 - My niece was graduating from Mizzou's School of Business with honors today.  She had auditioned and was selected to give a speech during the graduation ceremony.  We were so proud of her accomplishments, and the entire family would be attending together.  Meghan had front row seats - ten of them - reserved just for us.

My Mom rode with us during the four hour trip.  I noticed that she had to stop more often at rest stops.  I saw that her hair was falling out.  Hairs littered her white sweater and I found myself constantly brushing them off of her clothes.  I knew the hair loss had begun.  My mom noticed it too.  We would not let this spoil our day.

The day went perfectly and we all went out to eat afterward.  Each one of us knew that his was a special moment that we would later cherish.  I took pictures like crazy.  Suddenly I had the need to document everything in my life.
