When I went to the dollar store to buy balloons, they were sold out of both grad balloons and balloons in his high school colors. We were forced then, to focus all of our decorating energy on NYU. The home was ablaze in purple! The plums below are a fair tribute to the NYU school colors. When I allow myself time to think about it, it's impossible to fathom him away. Yet, the time is nearly here. I am fortunate to have been so booked up with activities that leave no time for melancholy.
Given the association of purple with privilege and royalty, my son's fast approaching future seems well positioned. So rather than waste energies on anxiety, I will shift to the anticipation of his magical, illustrious future. I'm sure it will be great!
Blessings.
