The Spring Concert and Art Show was virtual. The Spring Show was virtual. The Candle Rose Ceremony was virtual. The Spring Awards ceremony will be virtual on Thursday. Over the next three days we will be filming graduation so it can be shown virtually on Sunday. Next week we will return to clean out her locker, pick up her artwork, and say good-bye. There is talk of having an on-field graduation ceremony in July. I hope that can happen so they can see their friends again.
No matter how hard the virus tries to steal bits of our children's memories from them, Notre Dame tries harder to make lemonade out of lemons.
Yesterday was Ashley's last day of K-12 education. She asked if I would take her to Notre Dame to take some pictures. "Would it be okay if I wore my uniform?" So glad she asked since I really did want her to wear it, but didn't want to push.
A few hours later we picked up her cap and gown and post prom in a box. Tonight was supposed to be prom. I wish it could have happened. I really do. She had a date. She has great friends she wants to celebrate with. The weather is absolutely perfect. A friend hemmed her dress. That has been a loss that could not be replaced.
Congratulations Class of 2020!
Ashley is already looking forward to the reunion to take place over Thanksgiving weekend.
Corona virus -- STAY AWAY!
