Somewhere in a box of photos is more photos of Adam, Taylor and Gavin passing through the school phases with ease.
There are more photographs of school programs, plays, and marching band competitions.
Even more there are college graduations, and births of new babies... but my heart can't handle all of that tonight.
No one tells you the hardest part about becoming a parent... the letting go at all these milestone rites of passage.
You know it is a natural process that you are going to teach your child to leave and stand on their own.
And it is both blissful and heart wrenching at the exact same time.
The kids are fine! And they are thriving!
However my time with them is escaping me, and it is like losing air.
While I am thankful for one less Woodrow Wilson event. And while I know that it continues with our grand babies...
I've got at least one more graduation to get through...
Middle school is done! And where the hell did all that time go...
Oh my heart is so with you kids! A tear drop here for yet another tearing away to the person you are beautifully growing into. Your futures are so bright!
Adam, Taylor, Gavin and Macey
you make us so proud!
You are what we keep going for always!
Love Pops and Mimi
