We felt terrible when we realized our non-refundable Florida trip was booked for the same weekend as our niece Brook’s graduation from Norfolk High. I felt awful. Breaking the news to Brook was so hard, and while she was understandably sad, she was incredibly gracious and understanding about it.
To help make it up to her and as part of her graduation gift, Brook came to Lincoln for the day. We made a full girls’ day out of it: nails first, followed by some shopping, and then getting ready for Mean Girls: The Musical at the Lied Center. Abby, Emmy, and I all love the movie Mean Girls, and it wasn’t until then that Brook casually mentioned she had never seen it before! That made the experience even more fun.
We laughed a lot, had the best time together, and made some really special memories. Even though I still feel sad that we’ll miss her graduation, I’m so grateful we were able to spend a meaningful day with Brook celebrating her in our own way.
