What a difference a year makes.
2008. Kate leaves Clinton with her friends for a week in Edisto Island and the beach. Her last paper behind her, she is awaiting a week at the beach, a happy return to Clinton with her friends, and a graduation weekend with family and friends.
The only problem: a little quirk in the plan. Which leaves us all wondering where it will end. It leads us to hearings, attempts to seek a resolution which makes sense, and faces which are sympathetic or seeking to avoid our eyes.
One year later. Kate is in Charleston with her friends. Watching baseball. Eating seafood. Celebrating her possibilities. Later this morning, she will hop in her car and drive back to Clinton, where we will meet her and join in the celebration of this accomplishment in her life. Graduation from college.
So, later today, we drive up to Clinton, check in to a motel, dress for baccalaurete, and enjoy the moments before she leaves us for Paris or Berlin or Munich or wherever.
It is all possibilities.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.
