Billy is Back

Those of you who follow this blog know there has been a void in the adventures of Billy and his plight. The unfortunate boy has had his share of misfortune during his life. For the past few months he has been in a coma and out of respect to the family, I have not written anything about Billy.

Now I am happy to be able to tell you all that Billy has returned from the darkness of his coma and once again is able to participate in brief trips away from his one story walk-up.

Recently, he went on his high school class trip which had a surprise ending. The trip was educational and lots of his fellow classmates were able to go along. There would have been a few others, but his Uncle Alferd was celebrating his 75th birthday the same day!

Hicksville High has a reputation for exceptional class trips. This one was no exception. A good time was has by all.

The surprise ending for Billy was his High School diploma awarded to him that evening. This was something he had always wished for but he had resigned himself to the notion that that day would never come. Needless to say there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd.
