Today Mr M. had his last exam of his MA at Oxford. When it's your last exam you wear a red carnation on your cloak and exit the exam building through a different door. Just to see his face as he was coming out that gate, his huge smile, his shaking, it has been all worth it. Just to be able to cheer him as he walked out knowing he was done, it has all been worth it. Just to have him this happy jumping to The Killers, it has all been worth it.

Sometimes life just gives you a nod. It's the first day of the rest of our lives.
