My parents said "well, okay, why not get the whole family together", so they did just that. My parents threw a big party at my aunt Luci's house. It has a pool, a hot tub, a cabana with lights, a sand volleyball court, the works. His house was the perfect place for a party. The whole family was there and it was so nice to see everyone come together for a proper celebration. About halfway through the party my grandmother arrived in front of the pool with a picture frame. The frame was facing her so no one could see what she had. He said he wanted to make an announcement. As we all settled in and calmed down, she started talking about how she had secretly gone to college to get her degree. She said she wanted to be the best example for her children and grandchildren and that the only way to do that was to make something of herself. He announced that he had earned his doctorate in accounting and within the frame was his diploma. Had been attending the University of Texas at Austin for 10 years and traveled back and forth from San Antonio to Austin 3 times a week to attend
