Single digits ’till the big day

Nine (9) more days until our youngest daughter graduates from high school, thus rendering us Empty Nesters.

I have many emotions at this time…. Hugs are greatly accepted and welcomed.

For all the advice, I just take deep breaths and know this is “how it’s supposed to be” and “We’re giving her her wings” and “that’s our job as parents.”  All this doesn’t make it any easier.

I will record this next two weeks as best I can.  We’ll have our whole family together. We’ll celebrate. We’ll laugh and I will most likely cry some tears of joy, nostalgia and heart-break that my “baby” is leaving.

Overall, my heart is full.  I’m so proud of her.  I will be “fine” in September.

I am so very proud of our two daughters. My goal from day one was to make them strong, independent women. I see success in them everyday.

Smile. Have FUN everyday. Kiss your kids! Enjoy the journey!!

Aloha,

Denise
