Dear Class Of 2020, Don't Let Your Sad Goodbye Define Your Time Together

I remember standing and waiting to greet you again in the schoolyard, thinking how quickly things were moving on this strange day of goodbyes and how much I would like to see you smiling instead of weeping. The door finally opened and one of you came out, Abby, carrying all her school mementos in a black garbage bag.

Abby was clutching a picture of herself and some classmates from one of our past concerts. Volunteers, who had wanted to make this a little more special had pasted different pictures on each of your lockers. Those images told stories of times when you hugged each other without thinking, of when you were shoulder to shoulder in your classrooms and line-ups, and when your delighted shrieks filled the hallways.

After half an hour, you slowly trickled out of the schoolyard to return to your homes. The downtown buildings blocked out the sun, and once again, the courtyard was empty. I headed back to the subway, alone, my heart heavy and my runny nose hidden by my mask. 2020 took us all by surprise, and you more than anyone, our graduating students, will remember your pivotal last year of school in a whole other way from the grads that came before you.

I am sad for you, but from that brief glimpse of joy I saw in the schoolyard today, as you reunited, I know you’ve learned the most important thing that will carry you through even the hardest times: What counts most, when you strip the rest away, is being there for each other.pass and you will be stronger for making it through this weird year, when nothing turned out as expected. Life sometimes does that.
