It’s strange, but I’m not sure if I made the right choice today. I can’t seem to settle into the idea of what I missed. I didn’t find out till after 10 o’clock last night that I could go to Jeanne’s grad at the college. I have been led to believe on Wednesday they’re only three people could go and that would be of course his mom and dad and whoever else they chose. Once I got to work and settled into my to-do list I realize that I shouldn’t have taken off so much time yesterday and I would’ve been able to get more done. I just didn’t want to work this weekend. I now feel that was somewhat selfish and I should’ve left work at 1:30 to be there. Everyone else in the family was there that was here in town. I justify it by thinking it’s OK. It’s just a diploma in firefighting. He didn’t graduate from years of study and it is what it is. I know he worked hard. That’s a given.
I think it only sank in when I saw all the pictures of the family with him and how happy he is standing there with his deceased uncle Travis’s firefighting helmet. I was very emotional.
Clearly, I’m still working on the work life balance thing
