>> This is something that has been happening for years. Why is it now a supprise to anyone? I could maybe understad if the child was not expected to ever graduate, but what was expected? Please be warned... collages and universities have something very similar.
@JakeBob:
My kids graduated years ago when we used the stadium here in town. Since then I've not had a reason to attend high school graduation services for random kids just to test the waters on how it's being done these days - thus the questions. This grandchild graduating also happens to be the first great-grand graduating and his great grandmother (who has never missed one yet) wants badly to attend.
She is being treated for a variety of things not the least of which is Parkinsons in the advanced stages and at this point cannot walk more than a few paces and is on oxygen. I need to know as much as possible before I undertake anything that would put her health at risk.
Not sure why the flippant tone, but excuse the heck out of me for daring to crawl out from under my rock and ask my neighbors for help. Didn't realize it was going to be streamed and that was helpful information that may well save the day. That could very well provide the best means for her to "share" his day without over-taxing her health.
@lana7018:
I thought it was a snotty response, too. Didn't really deserve your thoughtful and intelligent reply, imo.
I'm kind of in the same boat...attending the ceremonies with a large group of friends/families, one of whom is an elderly attendant with walking issues. Going to call Reliant in the morning to find out our best route. I'm clueless, so hoping to get some answers. I will let you know what I find out, lana!
@JakeBob ... we are obviously all not as all-knowing as you are. Get a grip.
