Well, our Jim (my partner's little brother)has graduated. It was a windy cold day in San Francisco the day of his graduation. It was held outside at a football field on San Francisco State Campus.
I was worried that Andrew would not want to sit still through the ceremony, but we were lucky that the professors kept their speeches relatively short. Jim looked fantastic in his cap and gown.
He came up to the bleachers to greet us (many of his family members attended) and he presented his brother (my partner) with a sash that is meant for parents of children that are graduating. I was so proud and I began to take a picture.
However, while I was taking a picture, Jim also presented me with on as well. I can't tell you how touched I was to get one too. I wore it proudly during the ceremony. I also got very teary eyed. 
Since the economy is not all that great specifically in the job market, Jim has decided to continue on to get his masters degree.
After the ceremony we all went back to the house and ate, and ate, and ate. I even had a couple of Heineken's :D

That's awesome. You should wear the sash everyday. Maybe tuck it under your shirt, like Superman would his cape.
You should use the sash to store food...and Heineken's. Congrats!

That is awesome Paul! And I'm with Apok, you should always wear the sash. Congrats to Jim and good luck in grad school.
Congratulations to Jim on his graduation! What a heartfelt moment it must have been to receive that sash along with his brother. The party at home looks like it was a lot of fun! (The food looks delicious, too.)
You're a mush and who doesn't love a couple of beers after getting a sash?
