We will cry.
We will scream.
We will wish.
We will wonder.

But that is not all or most of what we will do. Not even close.
The members of the class of 2021 have not worked all these years to have their graduation year given away without a fight.

But we will not give these the upper hand.
We will fight.
We will fight for celebration and hope and joy and laughter and ceremonies and milestones and ordinary days and the future.
