Graduation Day!

Today my daughter graduated from 8th grade. And yes, let me be VERY cliche here and say it was quite bittersweet. Especially knowing that today my niece, Lily, also graduates from preschool, and my colleague Mary Lynn’s son, Owen is about to turn one. Such milestones! (And here’s the cliche)… Where does the time go? As I raced back to my office today after the graduation, I was focused on my deadlines, the meetings I still had to attend and emails I had to return. And of course WISHED more than anything that I could just slow down and watch Corey with her friends.
When I see my 5-year-old niece and Mary Lynn’s adorable son, I look at them and can hardly remember what my own girls were like at those ages. And yet: I remember being so tired and wondering when Corey (and Syd) would eventually walk; eat; go potty; do homework alone; say “Mommy” (and not “MO-OM!” with the eyes rolled!); sleep out; not cry when I left them; and so on….
Please remind me—and yourselves – to savor this time. Corey is entering high school in September; Sydney 7th grade. And somehow I know it will all go too fast.
