My younger son will be graduation from MSU ( proud

) next month and I am already feeling so sad that he won't have his dad there. His brother may not be able to get leave to attend and then there is only my parents. His dads family has not contacted him since the funeral. (They got mad at me about money and Alex defended me...)
Unfrotunaltely we don't much believe in the "watching from above" type of thing. The void of a special man we loved will really be apparent. He would have been soooooooooo proud cuz he was not even a h.s. grad.
Alex had just begun his 3rd yr when it happened, he took a week off and went back to school. It took him several months before he was able to work again, that was ok. He has been dealing with depression in a big way and still maintained decent grades. I am really proud.
