Day 207/365

     Friday's/day 207's post is from an MLive story on a high school freshman with a rare genetic disorder being elected to be on homecoming court by her classmates. It was definitely a feel-good story, and it was nice to see her community and classmates coming out to support her during her school's homecoming parade.

Day 76/365

     My brother graduated from high school today! I can't believe it; four years ago I was doing the same! So much has changed over the past four years, some for the better and some for the worse. Despite everything that's changed though: my mom, brother, and I have stayed close and gotten through it all together. Ryan and I have talked about our dad a good deal the past few days, and while he was sorely missed today as he always will be, it's pretty clear that he'd be immensely proud of the young man his son's turning out to be. Congratulations, Ryan!
