Buck Witnesses A Big Family Event

Gathered in the middle of nowhere (York University) with thousands of people on folding chairs Buck couldn't help but feel the excitement in the air.  

Today would be a celebration of years of hard work.  Today (the lady said loudly just that morning)
the baby of the family would walk across a stage and show the world just what she was made of.   There was in fact, no longer any babies in the family but the lady appeared to be in denial about that.  Thousands filled the theatre as the graduates entered the hall in a majestic procession wearing long black robes and funny hats.  Buck simply could not make out which one was her.

And then he listened carefully to the lady's description as she pointed and cheered and suddenly it was easy to find her...

They all laughed and clapped and cheered and Buck used his squeaker to join in.   It was a fine event  and Buck was never prouder of his new family ...

Stealing a quick look at the lady,  Buck was certain he saw her shed a tear or two.   While he didn't fully understand it, he decided it had something to do with being a mother.  "odd" he thought, " that you could feel so full of emotion that it literally leaked out of you". 

 He hoped to feel that some day but for now it was enough to feel the aura all around him like a big family hug.   What a day !
