graduation

My sister, Erin, and her husband, Flip, watched Eva walk a couple weeks ago.

Julia walks in Block Island. I missed it.

 On Sunday, my last niece graduated from high school. Red gowns seem to be the color of choice this year, and as I watched the parade of graduates in Holliston, Massachussetts, I couldn't but think that with different weird headgear they would look like something out of the Handmaid's Tale.
     Ahem.
     I hope that doesn't come to pass, though sometimes I am feeling like it already has. I am sorry for the young women of now. So young. So beautiful. So embattled.
   We'll see what happens  by the time they graduate from college.
