Dear Eve,
Graduation was a pretty good day overall.
I’d been dreading not having any family there now that Grandma can’t go out much, but it was fine.
At first I wasn’t going to walk, but the school counselors and everyone made it into such a big deal that it felt like less work to just do it, so I got the cap and gown and went to the ceremony.
I remembered your graduation and how everyone talked about how you were going to college and how you were going to become a doctor someday and Grandma was so happy.
The ceremony was in the morning. When it was over, I went home and showed Grandma my diploma.
After she fell asleep for her nap, I went and drove the Devil’s Backbone like we used to do.
I stopped at the rock shop and bought you a rose quartz, your favorite.
I put it with the rest of your rock collection.
I don’t think anyone else can tell that it’s there.
I don’t know that anyone else would ever look.
I miss you all the time.
Love,
