Time Goes By So Fast

My beautiful daughter will graduate from highschool tomorrow. Today we had her graduation party at our home to celebrate her accomplishment. We must have had over 50 family and friends coming in and out today, helping us celebrate her graduation. It was a beautiful day for a BBQ, while sitting and visiting in the beautiful sunshine.

For those of you who have older children, you know what I mean about time passing by so quickly. It seems like only a couple of years ago that she was born and now she's almost 18. For those of you who have younger children, be sure to take the time to enjoy the little things that they enjoy. You will really look back and cherish those memories. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about any opportunities I have missed. I had a wonderful time of my daughter growing up. We have a terrific relationship now and she will continue to live at home and we will still enjoy time together. Now it is different, now she is more like my friend. I am very, very proud of her and all that she has accomplished and how hard she had to work to get to this place. Here comes the beautiful part; I get to enjoy her and be proud of the responsibility that she shows for herself as the ownership is lifted off of my shoulders, just a bit. We will have many more happy memories together, she and I--starting tomorrow as she walks to accept her diploma in her gap and gown...
