The Ultimate Anticlimax

So, Friday was Sean‘s locker clean out. It was his final day of being a student at Divine Child high school. I expected it to be a really nice culminating event of his time at Divine Child.

Having a son opposed to having a daughter, I’ve learned to kind of scale things down when it comes to my expectations of his recounting of events for me. School dances were just, ”Good” or “Fun” when I ask him about them. He has always been someone of few words. I braced myself to be disappointed when I asked them how locker cleanout was.

I was not at all prepared to read the response he gave me. He just typed that, “It was a curbside thing and no one went in.” I really can’t believe that his senior year has ended like this! It is the ultimate anticlimax of 12 years of being in the same school! I’m sure that I am just being overdramatic about all of it but I’m pretty bummed! So Sean is finished with high school. Thinking about the socially distance graduation in August outside on the football field stresses me out more though! If I am miserable at commencement (which I most likely will be), I think that will be even more of the ultimate anticlimax!
