I've seen my share of teenagers crashing. I'm talking about kids becoming wrecks emotionally, falling in with a bad crowd, or diving deep into drugs and alcohol. Too many fail to graduate from high school.
I
have witnessed this in my friends, the children of my friends, and now the
grandchildren of my friends. I thought about this the other day as I affixed
the graduation announcement for a friend's daughter to my refrigerator with a
magnet. I have likely hung several dozen of these on my refrigerator over the
years.
But
this felt different, not as perfunctory as all the previous times. Honestly, I
felt righteously proud posting the graduation notice. Not just good stuff,
this. Great stuff.
