Suffering from liver and bile duct cancer, Mike Bowden couldn’t attend Russell County High School’s Class of 2022 ceremony to see his son Michael graduate.

But thanks to the extra effort from his family and school administrators, a special ceremony was conducted in Bowden’s east Alabama home in the United States, where father and son celebrated the milestone together.
