Okay, here's the situation. Brandon is graduating next week with a degree in Computer Science Technology at NAIT, after 2 years of working his butt off. He has put hundreds of hours into his projects at school, and hasn't complained once about the amount of work he ever has to do. He's been really busy for the past couple months because of these projects, and though helping him out and getting involved I can safely say I would never be able to handle the amount of homework he ever has at one time.
The thing is, noone in his family sees graduation as important. When he graduated from high school they didn't do anything besides go to the ceremony. And I know they have no plans on celebrating his graduation from college either. My family is SUPER big on graduation and school, for my high school graduation family traveled up from all over the place, we had a huge party and barbecue, and I got money and presents and cards from everyone because they were so proud. Add that to being the first one in my family to go to University, and school milestones are a huge deal to us.
I don't understand why his family doesn't seem to care about their sons accomplishments, same as he doesn't seem to understand why I find them such a big deal. I really want to make his graduation special, and I wanted to do something nice for him, like find a present to give him, such as a drawing or something small from the store. I also wanted to do something fun to celebrate like going out for dinner or something similar. I'll be there on Friday and we'll have until the 22nd until we go back home, where there will be no time to do anything like that. I don't have much time to organize something super huge, I just want a small cute way to make him feel special, because I'm super proud of him and I think that he has accomplished something amazing.
Any ideas on how I can make his graduation this week really special?
