Heading To Graduation

a young man and his mother

Anthony graduated from elementary school today, a big event in Japanese culture. I snapped the photo as we were heading to the school for the last time.

It reminds me of this photo of the two
of them from the day he started elementary school half his life (six
years) ago, and also the post about his going to school on his own
for the first time. He's growing up all too quickly.
