How many cousins graduate on the same night from different schools and then head off to the same college in the fall. Lucky ones indeed.
When they are old and gray, I wonder if they will remember the special day at Fort Yargo when we all got together to celebrate their graduations? And when they look at this picture will they laugh because they were grumbling as they had to put their gowns on for one last picture?
I can hear them now talking to their grandkids "you should have seen your Great Grandmother kicking your Papa's butt when he picked up that big snake. It must have been at least ten feet long"! (well they all have to stretchhhhhh the truth a little).
Heads up West Georgia, we're collectively sending you our next generation so give them a good education, take care of them and send them back to us safe and sound and ready for the real world.
Look out world, here come the McMurdos!
I sure don't want to live my life over again but I'd give anything to walk in their shoes for a short time.
