There are only 81 days until Steel graduates from high school. It’s really hard to believe. Today I found the box of his graduation announcements sitting on the dining room table after he got home from school. As I opened the box to peek at the contents it was difficult to comprehend that it was my baby’s name typewritten on the small announcement inserts we are all so familiar with. For a moment I felt overwhelmed with all of things I need to do before the day comes. There are parties to plan, pictures to take, schedules to adjust and events to attend… It will all be here before we know it. Maybe a goal of mine should be to get these filled out and ready to go in the mail the first of May…? Hum… we’ll see. I’m sure I’ll be working on them the last week of April.
Kelli,
Where has the time gone, can’t believe your baby is graduating H.S. You and Leroy have raised a fine young man. I have a few years before I am where you are with my twins graduationg H.S. I try not to think about it, I”m sure I will be going through some major empty next syndrome. Its hard just thinking about them graduating from 8th grade next year. I will get through it just like every mother does.
Rosalie… At least we had some prep time with Sierra going first and three years to recover. You’re experiences are magnified… double the pleasure, double the fun… the blessing of twins. But I can only imagine the emotion of every experience being the first and the last at the same time.
The high school years go by so quickly… you’ll enjoy them with your children much more than you did when you were in school. Funny how that works. And yes, we’ll get through it, together.
