the po~et 28 (onward)


The night was to be special but it didn't seem as any day should be assigned to it. Well at least not the ordinary name normally given. It was graduation day!

Jack had stared at the cap and gown all week long. She hadn't tried them on because it didn't seem real. After she took her last final she thought she would feel a since of relief. Numb was all she felt--numb.

When she arrived at the arena she was dizzy--at least she felt something. All day long the one constant thought was, he would be there--dressed in all his scholastic regalia.

When the ceremony began it was more than she had imagined. The years of struggle and the late nights all over, well at least for now. Grateful to God for making it through, she fought back tears with elation.

She looked straight ahead determined to find him in the crowd. His height she knew would make him stand above the rest. He was beautiful!

The floor couldn't hold her feet down. She floated as she went through the motions. She couldn't see him anymore, but she felt him. His eyes watching her. She turned around to see. Beautiful!
