I talked to her mom this morning, and she is evidently doing better than me. Yes, I am the emotional one, but this is strange to me. You know, Melissa and I have always been close, no matter what things were happening in our lives. Yes, like any two people, we drifted apart, but we always end up right where we belong.
The first few years of Kristen's life seem like yesterday. We were inseparable. Me, Melissa and Kristen - two Musketeers and a mini me. When you're young and you hear someone ask "where does the time go?" you think, what in the world are they talking about. Today, I sit and wonder, "where has the time gone?" This beautiful child was only 2 yesterday, I know it... I can't be that old, and we all know her mom is only 19, so tell me how is she graduating?
She has accomplished so much, and I am so proud of her. It hasn't come easy, there was a lot of sweat and tears along the way. A lot of sacrificing what some young ones take for granted, but it's paying off now.
Melissa says it will hit her when Kristen is off to college in the Fall, well, it hit me today. So as we sit in Reed Arena tonight and I cry (because I will not deny it's going to happen), her mom will be there for me - Just as I will be there for her in August.
After all, that is what family does....
Best Wishes Baby Girl, you made it!
