My baby girl graduated from preschool on Friday, a sign that time will never stand still, no matter how much we wish it would. Not really sure what graduation actually means, S wore her blue cap proudly, smiling and waving as her fans watched from the bleachers, except for mommy who was behind that dreaded camera again. She said goodbye to her friends and teachers, confidently stating that she was going to kindergarten now. I am so proud of my S who has come such a long way from the scared, aggressive little girl who we met in China almost two years ago. Much has changed although that hint of assertiveness still surfaces on occasional...well, maybe a bit more than occasionally.
In addition to a preschool graduation ceremony we had an elementary school graduation on Tuesday. Little b also proudly walked down the aisle of his school but with a carefree attitude not realizing that his journey into young adulthood is just about to begin. In September he will continue his journey into the junior high as Miss S transitions to the elementary school.
Time passes too quickly at times and many of my thoughts this week traveled back to when my children were babies. My life has certainly not turned out the way that I had expected with tragedy striking like a knife in my heart. But as I watch my children grow I try to remain positive and forever grateful that I have been given the chance to experience this wonder called mommyhood.
Sending Happy Father's Day wishes to dad all the way to Heaven and to my wonderful husband and father of my miracles,
J

I agree, time passes too quickly. Felt the same thing during the past week, as my daughter graduated Kindergarten, and turned 6.
Congrats on all the graduations and great pics!
