Graduation time big girl!

My dearest graduate, today was a special day! I woke up not really knowing how I felt ... I know you felt happy, excited, joyful all that you are most mornings, but even more so today. Your personality is contagious of course, and soon I find myself sharing your same joy and excitement! Today my "big" girl, you walked across the stage ... you graduated from kindergarten! To you it was the symbolization of an awesome year, a year of fun, a year of laughs and some learning. You so proudly accepted your award of earth keeper, which so matter of fact describes you. To me it was so much more ... a year of excitement, tears, anxiety and love. It was a flashback of the past 6 years! Could you really be graduating from kindergarten? No, I just gave birth to you, then I quickly realized I actually had 2 more and time has really passed. I just wanted to hug you and stop time, but I can't, so I will let you go, let you conquer the world in the way a 6 year old does and know that nothing will ever stop you! So on this day of graduation from kindergarten, I wish you this same strong will, desire for adventure, love of learning and kindness towards others in 18 years on your day of graduation from high school, from college and wherever life takes you. I will always be right by your side and cheering you on. The world will shine brighter with your light! Your biggest fan today and always, love momma!!
