Family's Fierce Love Brightens COVID's Darkest Days
Two parents, two jobs in peril. Three kids, three commencements cancelled. My interview with the family reveals five honest perspectives on the past, the present and a very uncertain future.
For years, Jill Greenman and John Fervoy knew May would be an epic month.
Their eldest son, Nathan, 22, would graduate from college.
Their middle son, Benji, 17, would graduate from high school.
And their youngest son, Max, 14, would graduate from middle school.
But, just as plans came together for a triple graduation celebration, news of the global pandemic hit, grinding life to a surreal halt. As Jill and John did everything to hold on to their jobs, all three boys’ commencement ceremonies were cancelled.
