Chatham Rose McCloskey, my sister Maureen’s granddaughter, graduated from Emmanuel College today. I had the pleasure of watching her graduation in real time through virtual streaming, and seeing photos posted on Facebook by her mother,
Tracey McCloskey. Chatham’s spirit shines forth–her vibrancy, sincerity, and beauty.
She had the honor of being the President of her Class of 2025. On her gown, she wore a pin of her father, Ken McCloskey, holding her as a baby. I’m sure Ken was present, bursting with pride of his daughter. Chatham’s extended family on her maternal side were present, glowing with pride. Her cousin, Sarah Cabral, was also present, recalling their childhood ties. My sister Maureen holds all in a heart full of love. We are so grateful!
