Monday's Moments that Matter
My youngest graduated from Monument Mountain High School yesterday. My involvement for the week included:
🏅 Attending an senior award ceremony
🎈 Decorating for the prom
📣 Cheering at the prom walk-in
🤞 Hoping prom would go well
🍩 Senior Family Breakfast
🎓️ Graduation
🥳 Graduation celebrations
So many emotions!
I feel incredibly lucky that I was an engaged witness, able to cheer, clap, and tear up as I watched the graduate stand up and be recognized for all that they've done. At one event I suggested that next year they sell the mini tissue packets for $10/each as a fundraiser! (I'm really going to work on that actually.)
It has been an emotional and wonderful time where I watched and participated in watching young adults be cheered on by people who loved them, friends who had been there for them, and complete strangers who were just so happy for them.
Moments when people can be seen, heard and celebrated matter! I'm so glad I got to be a part of so many.
