I thought that after my sister graduated from high school, she was going to have to move to Europe to continue her studies (like the girl in a story I once read) and I'd never see her again. I cried throughout her entire graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, I summoned up the courage to ask my sister what she was going to do after school was finished and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I guess I'll work at the ice cream shop." I was stunned and relieved. (though 6 yrs later she moved to Africa to teach)
