I...I would caution you to seriously consider going. It sounds like this really would mean the world to your mom - it's amazing how graduation ceremonies often don't mean much to us but to our parents they are so important and rewarding. In one afternoon of misery (which sounds like it might be free or cheap?), you may be granting your mother a memory she will cherish forever, and also honoring the memory of your father.<br /><br />Besides, think of how many rosaries you can pray during that time! They <i>tell</i> you not to bring anything in, but that just means you need to hide it under your robes somehow and be subtle... You're a clever gal. You can make it work. :)<br /><br />And THEN have the real celebration! Who says you can't do both, eh? Graduating is a big deal! :D<br /><br />No pressure. Just my two cents, as requested. *hugs!*Claire Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356741555403954008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-12861493906961907032011-09-22T17:59:03.827-07:002011-09-22T17:59:03.827-07:00I would talk to you mother about it. If she's...I would talk to you mother about it. If she's bound and determined to see you walk I would do it in for her and in memory of your father.<br /><br />Otherwise you can have a small family gathering and stage a mini-graduation of your own. I think the ceremonies are overrated.irishthanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980898453508188947noreply@blogger.com
