i'm starting to "get it"


i see how things are changing around here...
i'm beginning to understand.
when your favorite 16 year old
becomes your favorite 17 year old...
she wants to be with her friends.
(all. the. time.)
i get it.
i am pretty sure i was just like her.
***
this is all happening too fast for my liking.
but what are you going to do?
happy birthday emma...
be joyful,
be loving,
be careful
behave!
mama loves you to the moon and back

Happy Birthday to your daughter. I have 2 girls and they are grown women now. 34 and 27. I know how you feel. But we did just get back from Savannah recently on a mother/daughter trip. Savor the moments as you can.
