Today's OneWord: Graduation

Todd missed his son's graduation, and then his daughter's graduation two years later, and then his nephew's graduation three years after that. The reason each time was that he had been led as if on a leash over to Papa Fred's Bar and Grille, where he drank himself stupid with his friends Mac and Erin, oblivious to the passing time as he swigged shot after shot of bourbon. In the meantime, his family took group pictures, celebrated and hollered when their loved ones crossed the graduation stage, and toasted to each night, all while Todd slowly succumbed to another black-out night of revelry and short-lived glee.
