This is Virginia Hislop. She finished her credits at Stanford in 1941 but left to help the war effort when WWII started. Even though people joke about what she’ll do with it now, the fact that she came back at 105 to officially graduate is the ultimate inspiration.

This mother, who has been bravely fighting cancer, hadn’t seen her son in months while he was away in deployment. Her family told her they were performing a magic trick, but the real surprise was the moment he appeared behind the blanket. The way she breaks down when she realizes he’s finally home is just pure, raw love. ❤️
