I am pretty emotional right now myself. This one just crushes me. I cannot imagine how she feels. If Im this emotional, what is she feeling like?

I talked with my nephew last weekend and ask him if he was trying to figure out how to have a virtual prom (get you mind out of the gutter!  and his response was he just wanted the graduation. He wants that walk across the stage. He wants to watch his friends walk across that stage.
High school ending this way was surely never part of the plan for any of the class of 2020. Given everything else that is going on, I am sure they can do without this kick in the stomach.
