I love this picture...taken in the backyard of our home in Texas, a different chapter in our family history. Sweetie Girl was dancing in the rain with a yellow raincoat and a pink umbrella. She was having the best time! Her own version of "Singing in the Rain"!
This weekend marks a rite of passage in our family. Sweetie Girl will graduate from college, an Honors Fellow! Newly employed staff writer! She has officially left the nest. A college graduate! Wouldn't Daddy Rob be proud of you!?
Bittersweet! Where have the minutes and hours gone? Once a giggly, shy little girl. My baby has grown into an amazing young woman.
I still have many bits and pieces of her young life scattered through the house, like a baby bird's feathers left behind in a nest. American Girl dolls, ballet shoes and charcoal pencils and sketch books and ceramic bowls. And books, hundreds of books from classical to whimsical. It has been an amazing journey!
Sweetie Girl, I love you and I am proud of you! I look forward to seeing you walk across the stage decked out in your cords, pendants and pins. And, from the upper reaches of heaven you will hear the echoes for "3, 2, 1, blast off!"
