[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Mom paid for college, she invited my Dad. I treasure the photo I have with him (he died when I was in my 20s).[/quote]

Why do you treasure it? Because he died and that’s all there is plus some romantic version of how he might have been in your 30s and 40s? [/quote]

No because I knew how much my Mom had done for me, and also knew my Dad was proud of me and thankfully he and my Mom got along and she wanted him to share in MY joy. (Married young, split when I was 12 Yada Yada). The older I get the more I see what my Mom did for me (I have college age children now, both parents now deceased).

Good point.

Mom be proud and loud about how she single-handedly raised her child, paid for his college, and launched him into adulthood.

The invitation should say exactly that. 
Mom and son invite you to graduation weekend! A group breakfast celebrating all that Mom did for me; the ceremony itself; the dinner celebrating the new college grad.

Well done kid! Well done Mom! [/quote]
