unc - rain is most appropriate...


Published May. 11, 2008

UNC held graduation outside in Kenan Stadium, in hte rain, while the Dean Smith Center sits empty and dry. Why? There are reasons of planning and logistics, costs, and wishful weather thinking, but one more...

 

Eve Carson is remembered today as she gets her well earned diplomas post-obitum, and rain, to me, seems most appropriate for such severe matters. Sunny days are taken for granted, but rainy days like this, make for fitting memories of a loss, a loss of promise, and makes for those graduating to keep in mind what they have to appreciate -- life!

All the good her dedication and determination and discipline would have brought to the world is gone but for the inspiration gained by her classmates. Congratulations to those who denied themselves to stay in school and study, those who delayed gratification by premature pleasures and are graduating.

 

There truly is a struggle between good and evil in this world.

good stuff

Blessed be the corpse that the rain falls upon (correction)

As the elderly say when it rains going to a Funeral.... "Blessed be the one who the rain falls upon".

My personal statement in my profile was created today in memory of Miss Carson. And yes, her parents - especially her mother - her classmates, and those like me who only know her from the stories we have read about her are surely missing her greatly today. But the fact is is that Eve is alive and well in the presence of our Lord and Savior. Amen to that!

my heart goes out to her mom, (and dad) today. very thoughtful of you to write this...

Great blog, dj! So thoughtful of you.

Great blog djo. Only one request. Please put up a picture of what was once a beautiful life and take down the one who is responsible for taking it.

WOW! This is a truly poignant blog! I didn't know that UNC was holding their graduation ceremony outside, but I agree with you, on a day like today, with a memorial dedication to Eve, it's very fitting indeed! It's symbolic of the tears shed by so many over such a promising life lost in such a tragic way!
