Wuth all due respect, as grandfather, a granchild’s first birthday comes before a graduation award “
Lesschumrahs – my son was his grandchild, too. The baby could not care less or even be aware of his being there, and had other grandparents there from the paternal side. My son had no living grandparents BUT him, and BTW, his graduation was scheduled first. My husband’s niece chose to make the party on that day, knowing we had invited him to the graduation already. She would not even make the party later in the day (the graduation was early in the morning and over by noon, including the collation). He could have done both, but chose not to.
