It was the first day of kindergarten for DD. Back then they had half day kindergarten and DD was in the afternoon class. It was unbearably hot and on the first day of school they canceled the afternoon class due to heat. DD inconsolable. She cried and cried. She had been waiting and waiting to go to the "big kids school" along with her older brothers. It just wasn't fair. She really wanted to go. She'd have to wait another day.
Fast forward thirteen years.
DD is standing there in her cap and gown. It's warm outside. DD is dressed for Bacceloreate and she's all teared up. It's not fair. She's afraid to go. She doesn't want it to end.
To see her in her cap and gown, to see the light of excitement and yet a glint of uncertainty in her eyes; to see her face what we both have literally fought for; I can't think of a better Mother's Day gift. I am truly blessed.

The picture of her first day of Kindergarten was on the Sr. Collage page of the Odessan. Did you see it? CUTE!!! Wish my OD was walking with the class. We'd have used the Great Big Brownie Smile of her and KF. See Ya' Sunday!
AWWW, that's so sweet. Another memory for the file. And more pictures for the scrapbook?
