My Aunt Joyce's Grandson, Dalyn, just GRADUATED from BYU!! Because of the Corona Virus he couldn't have a real Graduation so much to his SURPRISE...His parents and siblings drove out from Chicago and Joyce got all the neighbors involved and they threw Dalyn a real GRADUATION that turned out to be much better than a stuffy old GRADUATION with thousands of other kids.
Joyce's next door neighbor is the President of LDS Business College and so he had the robes and the hat, and he gave the GRADUATION SPEECH. He had an Area Seventy that lives down the street in attendance as well. The neighbors all sat out on their parking strips in their lawn chairs, and then his family sat in the driveway. His fiance's parents had a big speaker and microphone set up so the neighbors down the street could hear everything. It was awesome!
After the GRADUATION SPEECH, his Mom, Laura got up and gave a cute little speech that was short and then his siblings got up and gave a Graduation Quote and then each would put a lei made of his favorite snacks and candy, around his neck.
It was short and sweet and everyone had a great time. I think Dalyn was so SURPRISED and SO HAPPY!
This was the best GRADUATION I have ever attended!
Afterwards we had dinner outside and then Joyce's ward went around the streets performing a TALENT SHOW that was SO MUCH FUN! It was nice visiting with my cousins I don't see very often and this was a great night out and much needed too!
CONGRATULATIONS DALYN! I am so PROUD of your hard work!!
