A friend said recently "these last few weeks of school are a gauntlet to be completed". I get this imagery of a long long narrow hall that must be conquered before reaching the end! This morning, this is how I feel about Sis's graduation. The actual ceremony is only 10 days away; however, there is SO much going on between now and the actual date. In fact, the next three weeks are packed with awards ceremonies, choir concerts, parties, baccalaureate, family gatherings, graduation, Trojan Travels and finally Disney World! How blessed we are--but I get a misty-eyed just thinkin about it.
I want to drink these memories in; sometimes, it is hard because we are moving quickly from one event to another. This morning, the four of us went to eat breakfast at the Pitt Grill. Such fun and laughter at the table; I want to treasure these moments with both kids! We all looked a little grungy; no makeup, flip flops and t shirts but it is my family at its best. We love each other and for the most part, like being together! I love that!
Sis has such dreams and I want to be here to support her every step of the way! (not necessarily financially but....... ha)
