DIAPERS TO DIPLOMA
Several friends are preparing for their last offspring to graduate high school and head off to a post-secondary future leaving their folks as Empty Nesters.
Some of those parents will have their child's former bedroom painted and reassigned within the first 48 hours while others will create a shrine, leaving the room as left by their departing child, hoping one day either s/he will return for a visit.

Madeline Albright commented when the last of her three girls left for university, "I marvel at how brief the interval is between diapers and diplomas."
