Got something in the mail yesterday: A graduation announcement.
My daughter will receive her PhD in chemistry next week. This has taken 20 years and a greater expenditure of work and money than I like to think about but it will be more than worth it. I wish her mother could be there to see it (she died in 1999 when our daughter was 16).

I only hope future generations have the same opportunity, but it is looking less and less likely.
