2020 has definitely been a year to remember. For most it has been long, stressful, perhaps overwhelming, or lonely. Some children are back in school, some schooling from home, and others are doing a combination of both. This puts a lot of stress on parents and grandparents.
Faith, the youngest of the grandchildren I raised, was a High School 2020 graduate. She was bummed that the Senior Prom was cancelled. We had to wait until August 1st to have her graduation on the new football field of her high school. Some high schools around the country had some type of virtual graduation or stay in your car drive by graduations. She declared if her school did that, she would not participate. Fortunately, her school leaders were creative. So on a blistering hot summer morning, she graduated, then she went on to community college via online schooling the same month while she stayed living at home. Hopefully all colleges in our state will be open next fall.
My thoughts and heart go out to all grandparents who are still struggling with how to educate their grandchildren adequately during this COVID scare. Blessings to all of you.
