Words cant describe how I feel right now. It was a normal day, aside from me waking up with a headache and nosebleed. We just watched him walk accross the stage and receive his degree. Bachelor of Arts in Nursing Administration. He has been in medical fields all his life just like my mother. Ever since I can remember he has always said he always wanted to go back to school. He finally did it at the age of 57. Graduated Sunday, fathers day. Everytime I think about that I just want to cry. I mean some people will say that, it was a good thing he achieved his life long goal, because some people never get to. I agree, but I also think that this was a life changing event, I would have liked to see what he was going to do next. This is what he had been looking for to change his life into something great. I have mixed feelings about saying "at least he achieved his goal". That day of graduation was the last day anyone saw him, tuesday was the last we heard from him. Me and my brothers and my uncle (father's only brother) were there. It was good that my uncle came down form NY for this graduation, but I cant help but think of all the others from my family that were supposed to come. Im sitting here now writing things out, but Im not going to send anything to anyone. I received a lot of phone calls from family and friends. But right now Im probly not answering my phone anymore. Anytime someone says "didnt he just graduate?" I feel like I want to cry.
Just thought I would let you all know, its kind of good for me to write/type this out.
