As my son's graduation from high school approaches, I find myself filled with tears for what might have been. I knew that each life event would bring this on, so I am able to keep myself in check but, I can't help but think of how proud Terry would be of our son just as he was of our daughter at her graduation. He would have reveled in the activities that surround this momentous time in Daniel's life - sports banquets, senior honors, scholarships, college acceptances, senior parties, father/son events, legacy luncheon - he would have loved it all. Somehow, I will hold the tears at graduation just as I held them at my son's Eagle Scout ceremony because, Terry will be with us as surely as if he were sitting beside me. He will be at the college graduations, weddings, births of grandchildren and all of our milestones. He lives in my heart. But, oh how I miss his presence right now.
