Our close friend Avery dropped by today with Jen.. Avery’s a Senior at UVM and will be graduating this weekend. It kind of shocked me when i thought about it. Sam would have probably  been graduating from college now too.. Avery and a ton of our other friends are going to march down the aisles of whatever schools and go out into the world.. Where would Sam have been, what would he have studied.. Would he know what he wanted to do with his life ?

When Sam’s class graduated from High School, they left a space for him in the lines of students coming out to get their diplomas.. they even called out his name.. it was a bitter sweet moment.  Now.. there will be no space, no name called out.. That space is locked in a set of questions we will never know how to answer, .

It does make mae sad to think about that.. at the same time I’m very happy and proud for our many friends who will be graduating in the next couple of weeks. So many adventures out there.. so many decsions.. so much to learn and do.. their whole lives ahead of them. Best of luck my friends. find something you love to do !

nite all. nite sam
