My advice for graduates and family members is to take a deep breath and just enjoy every minute. These milestones only happen a few times in our lives and they pass quickly. Take the time to realize everything that's going on around you. Really listen to the commencement speeches. They usually come with good advice. Spend this time with family and friends. Since many students will be leaving home in September, reassure them family is only a phone call away.
