My 17-year-old nephew is (virtually) graduating from high school today. (They hope to have a real ceremony once the virus is contained.) I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone who has nieces, nephews or children of their own how impossible this seems -- how is he not still 5???? -- but alas here we are. Boys can be pretty awful. So how lucky are we that he's grown up to be a truly wonderful young man who earned a college scholarship and will leave home in the fall, virus permitting!
I spent last night misty-eyed going through old photos from my digital camera days, so bear with me here. xo

Great post Kenneth!! I have been there, wait until THEY have kids.. LOL! I really don't feel old until my nephews/nieces tell me their age.
