Graduation dinner party. His mom’s parents were there in person. My parents were there in spirit. I saw them. They stood behind him, arm in arm. My dad had a gray suit on, and my mom had a fuscia outfit. They were both grinning down at him, happy like the rest of us. He didn’t see them. They looked up at me for a moment, then they were gone.
So glad they could make it. I knew they would.
