I am sitting here in complete denial. I try to avoid the inevitable and it’s here and NOW and I can not avoid it any longer. My oldest child is graduating 5th grade in a few days. I know it seems silly to even be sad about it… after all it’s my job to work my way out of a job, right? I just can not believe her childhood has flown by so quickly. No more scraped knees and forcing her to eat veggies…she is a young adult. Now I am mending a broken heart due to stressed relationships with friends and trying to help her stay true to who SHE is and what SHE likes. It’s all so bitter sweet. I want life to slow down. I feel like I am in a black tunnel screaming to get out and trying so hard to savor every last minute but it’s spinning by me all too quickly and I am blinking the days and years away.
I will try to stop doing this sappy posts but it feels so good to get it out… I know I am not the only one. Beyond her graduation, my littlest is 6 months this week. Half a year old already….again, I blinked. I really have to STOP doing that!
