Mixed Feelings

 Well school is over...I'm supposed to go to pick up Sarah's yearbook this week at the office now that the hallways are clear of students. They had advised me to wait until this week so that it would be quieter in the office... good advice. I don't think I could face any of S. friends right now. Still feeling too tender and crying easily over grad stuff. There's also a DVD and a grad mug ready for Sarah waiting for me to pick up from a lady's house. She was in charge of a parent group that put together stuff to hand out to the grads at commencement. One of the things is a DVD of the red carpet walk on grad day when they were all dressed up and getting out of their limos. Sarah's counselor let this lady know about Sarah and she put a set of this stuff aside for Sarah since she wouldn't be there to accept it herself at commencement. I think this was very thoughtful of them to think of her and include her. Sarah and I talked about this last night. She asked me to pick this stuff up without her knowing and just put it away for now. She'll ask me to see it when she's ready. She's just not ready to see it for now. Way too painful.   On a brighter note......our flowers are either blooming or getting buds....we're going to have a great balcony garden this year! Andrew is so excited the rosebush has new buds! I'm so glad he's into this this year! He's gotten me into it and his excitement is contagious and adding a bright spot in an otherwise depressing year. Way to go Andrew!
