This is my nephew Thomas. He is a 2020 graduate of Shaler High School. I just took his senior photos. He was born just days after the attacks on 9/11 and I remember when I first got to meet him. I thought of how sorry I was that he had to be born into a world where such madness exists. Fast forward to now. No prom, no formal ceremony, no final “end” for 12 years of hard work. Once again, I feel for him. For everyone that worked so hard on something only to be slighted out of a formal “Congratulations”, I feel for you.
So for Thomas, my other nephew Daniel who just graduated from Slippery Rock University and all the others who deserve recognition.....Congratulations!!!! You are amazing. Despite this mixed up world.
