I just realized that 3 weeks from now, at this time, my "baby girl" will be a high school graduate. It's making my stomach hurt, my heart ache. I promised myself at the beginning of the school year that I would savor every moment, that perhaps it would make the time go slower. It didn't work. I guess all parents feel that way when a child graduates. I have to keep reminding myself to be positive...this is a good thing. New challenges, new friends, new adventures are in her immediate future. It doesn't make it any easier to let her go. I remember, like it was yesterday, looking at her in her bassinet, when she was only days old, and actually getting tearful because there was NO WAY I could send her to kindergarten when it was time. It is absolutely unreal to me how fast the time has gone.
Tonight she and two of her friends got ready for their senior prom here at the house. I think they started getting ready at 1:30 or so. They left to have dinner at Addison's and then on to to the prom. Hopefully they have a great time and get home safely.
