And how about another one?

 

Oleg only had his allotted two tickets, and they went to me and Darcy. Prior to Darcy's graduation, Tom had groused about being left out of attending. There was talk of sneaky inside, of smuggling tickets, and other various scenarios that caused me stress. Then we went to Darcy's.

Me: "Still eager to attempt to get in tonight for Oleg's graduation?"

Tom: "It's all yours."

But he did watch from home. Madison sent us a video of him following her around with his computer while the same announcer read off the graduating senior names. People, it was tedious!


Our view was from the other side of where we had been for Darcy's, so we had a view of the stage this time. His chair was at the back where we were seated, and like Darcy, we could see him, and he could see us. 

Oleg's name was almost the last of the bunch. He'd warned us that as soon as his name was called he was out of there. And, three hours later, we were. 



And back home we went for more cake and celebrating! Oleg's headed this week for his new job on the other coast working in his field as a computer guru coder, and we couldn't be more proud of him. While he fell short by a smidgen of Darcy's 4.0 GPA, he too worked hard while working several jobs, and let's not forget, in another country!

Congrats, Oleg! We are so proud of you and can't wait to watch you grow!
