See? I told you, IMPOSSIBLE.And so, that's exactly what I did Tuesday. Cried...and cried...and cried. And I didn't care who saw me.
I used to be a closet cryer. Actually, I didn't even cry in the closet. I just rarely cried anywhere.
And now? Now that I'm a Momma? I cry at everything....Hallmark ads....Johnson & Johnson commercials, you name it.
So imagine my floodgates opening up when my girl who used to make the cutest little "O" with her mouth when she was a baby, who bit her baby brother's toe when she was 1 & he was zero, who has managed to make me fall in love with everything about her (including her penchant for pink),
walked up to the microphone donning a paper grad cap and said,
"Thank You."
And when her BFF's name was called (one of the first) to receive her diploma, I went ahead & started sobbing. Not just silent, subtle tears, but loud ugly sobs that made even Hot Hub's head do a jerk.
I might as well start stockpiling kleenex for kindergarten. Less than 90 days to find the perfect waterproof mascara.
Wish me luck.

Oh what a big girl she has become. And how did that happen so quickly?! I understand you being emotional. You have got lots more of those moments ahead of you. For both FJ and Gabe.

Yep.....where has the time gone? I remember like it was yesterday - when I got the phone call at work that she would be born THAT day. She has been such a sweet, loving little soul....Aunt G couldn't be more proud of her.
xoxoxo
Oh boy! That picture DID make me tear up. :) Kayla won't have a preschool graduation b/c she will stay there for Kindergarten. Saves me some sanity. :) But next year, she not only enters Kindergarten, but Alysa starts there for preschool. How will I survive that day???
Absolutely adorable ~ the photo AND the post! Nothin' wrong with lovin' so much!
