Free and Finished At Last
Randy,
my son, all can
breath. Congratulations!
The smiles on your face announce your
degree.

This evening my wife and I received a phone call from one of our non-familial sons--a young Polynesian / African-American man from Hawaii who has been attending the local university in our town.  He has struggled and this is the mid year of his fifth year in a four year program.  Today, he finished his last class and graduates.  I could not resist this writing.
