A wise friend recently told me that one of the hardest parts of your child graduating is losing contact with all of their friends: the girls who were always over for sleepovers and pool parties, the ones we took under our wings as part of our family, they will be missed too. Kathryn is this friend to my senior, Mia. Years ago I photographed Kathryn’s family and mentioned that my daughter was her age. Coincidentally, they met shortly after and have been inseparable ever since. This explains my tears as she put on that cap and gown. Our girls are entering a new stage. They’re ready, but I may not be. Congratulations to Kathryn and The Class of 2027!
