Heather at Graduation

This is one of my favorite pictures of my second daughter Heather. It was taken by my fourth daughter Anna (on the right in this picture) as we hid from the rain underneath the stadium overhang trying to do the graduation picture thing. I just love the candid take, and the joy that beams forth. Indeed, the picture would be sheer joy but for EVE. Perhaps it was appropriate after all that graduation day was gray and rainy. Despite dropping most of the program, there was still a remembrance of Eve Carson. 2008 will always be remembered for that event. It's still so hard to believe all that, almost too much to think about. Yet, amidst such sadness, life goes on, as do friendships and laughter.
