May 24, 2016 Finger Lakes Connected
When you watch your daughter go to her first prom, the experience is surreal. You're just kind of awestruck and in the moment. Taking pictures with lots of thoughts whirling through your head but not much spoken. Catching his awestruck expression as he sees her for the first time. Watching the nervous elation with the corsage tradition. Watching her walk away wondering why no words are coming. Then, snapping you out of your daze, you hear your ten year old daughter yell out to them, "MAKE GOOD CHOICES!" Priceless. Memorial Day is MONDAY! Remember those who fought for our freedoms we hold dear! Parade info below.
