My child will be graduating soon, and I won't be there. 
Some things one can only learn by living through them.
It's funny to listen to kids, really kids, still in college. So developed and yet so inexperienced. Trying to make a statement. Still. About their identity. And it reminds me of the Mark Twain joke a friend tells often, but I'll save it for another day.
I suppose one always comes back to the famous lines, "Though much is taken, much abides...."
I must really get out and shoot again. I should probably ask for a one or two year leave from my day job, throw the cameras in the back, and start driving. This pic is quite cool - it reminds me of one for which I lost the neg of a large piece of rotted wood - so rotted that parts had become essentially soil again - of all places on Roosevelt Island (in the Potomac River between the Lincoln Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial).
Almost as old as the trees

but I think it can be fixed. perhaps in the old-fashioned way, with paper and pencil.
Your pictures are gorgeous.
