"ocular moisture issues" - love that in my soul. I'm sure our DS will miss his mates spectacularly not as long after graduation as he may think right now.
Great post. Question - is that still a thing for the graduating MIDS to stay in Bancroft the night before graduation? As a parent, I have nothing whatsoever against that, but this is the first I've heard it, so I am curious. It actually sounds like a good idea.
