On my way to our second Daughter’s college graduation. She graduated in 3.5 years and beat cancer. Not the experience we expected but she is grown up and we are proud. Big day on Friday plus it’s in the Pit at UNM - a sports venue!

congratulations to #2 daughter, @ApexLion. I've enjoyed your occasional posts about her. Her accomplishments are amazing. We salute her, and congratulate mom and dad, and all of those that provided support for her.

So I just sat down in DFW, look to my left and a gentleman is sitting there with a PSU hat on. I say ‘we are’ and he gives me the thumbs up.

Mom and I cried tonight in the Pit during the graduation ceremony. We were also on the Jumbotron with a pre recorded message to our daughter. I had no idea they would play it - the alumni association asked all parents to send in a short video in November. We were on twice. I’m glad our daughter saw my wife talk about our daughter’s courage and fortitude.

I have to say Miami and UNM have treated our two older kids very well. Kids 3 and 4 up next.

My oldest is graduating from medical school next year and my second oldest is graduating with her undergrad (nursing and psychology double major) next year also. Looking at the dates in recent years, they’ve been on the same date. One is in Louisville, KY while the other is in Spartanburg, SC. Going to be a tough call. My wife can’t stop worrying about it.

Omg, that would be horrible. I’m hoping and praying it’s not the same day. I’m not sure my wife could deal with that. @Connorpozlee

If it is, I’ll go to one and my wife will be in a mental institution. It will be really unfortunate if it happens. I’ve already told my second oldest (2?) that I’d go to hers because she didn’t get a real high school graduation due to COVID. We’ve seen the oldest (1? Am I speaking LaCourvoisier correctly?) graduate twice already.
