I Adore My Daughter

I AM A PROUD MAMA

Today my daughter finished ELEMENTARY SCHOOL  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.........and I still can´t believe it.

I still remember like it was yesterday, her first days in preschool,her uniform and her lunchbox and how she held onto my leg every morning when it was time for me to leave ( her teacher always told me she was perfectly fine afterwards, she just had a hard time letting me go ). 
Then came Preschool graduation, she acted in a play and she sang and danced and I cried non-stop in awe of my child.
Then  it wasn´t too long ago when she started elementary school  and I clearly remember how excited she was to be a big girl enrolled in First grade at the Big School.
Time apparently flew by and now she is leaving Elementary School behind and getting ready for the next chapter in her ( our) life.
And even though it still seems like yesterday to me , I am very much aware my kid has grown up  and she is no longer a baby, but a pre-teen, becoming more beautiful , intelligent and insightful everyday.

We have been thru a lot together. She´s always been my pride and joy and during these past  sad days she has been my rock and my one source of hope and happiness.

.............and I just wanted to share this joyous moment with you all

    And have a wonderful Mother´s Day in the company of those you love :-)



    I will be spending the day with my daughter and some friends. And even though I miss my mother terribly, knowing that I have my child to celebrate life with makes this day so much sweeter.

    Awww! UC, this is such a sweet story, and I love the pic of your little girl!! How adorable!! That backpack is almost as big as she is!! :-)



    It reminds me of when I took my own children to kindergarten. I don't know where the time went, because now they are in college! It whizzed by me in the blink of an eye!



    Enjoy and savor every moment, because before you know it, she will be graduating from college and will be a grown woman. :-)

    I'm so glad you feel new hope and happiness. Mourning is such a long dreary process and look, you're having a moment of respite. Remember this feeling when the sad times come again! You're doing fine so give yourself a pat on the back!

    Beautiful story! :)



    Those years go by so fast! I can hardly believe my baby will be going off to preschool in the Fall! It seems like just the other day he was a baby!

    Oh Proud Momma, what a lovely tribute! It's an exciting time of life with lots of changes coming your way.

    My little girl will be a Jr. in High School, and I can't believe it. You will love having a daughter as she becomes a woman.......so much to relate to.
