So... I know it's completely normal to be shedding a few pre-grad tears in the weeks before my daughters graduation . Still, I feel a little guilty doing it... after all..it's a time to celebrate ,right? And it is, of course so amazingly surreal to be headed to the empty nest as my only child is headed off in this incredible adventure, BUT does it have to happen in the parking lot at Target? AND as I am driving down Martin Luther king Dr. after dropping her off @school? YES, there were the few expected Prom tears as I watched these diverse and wise young Montessori children who have blossomed this year with such confidence into people who will take on the world! ( and the side note of how the all looked elegant enough for the red carpet!!)...
AND the joyous ones as she went the Indians game last night with her senior class, and was shocked\appalled when the batter broke a Louisville Slugger bat ! ..Such love and pride she has for both her cities and her school and the broader world. So proud she is (as are we!) in her alternative approach to education... and her sheer determination to succeed her way...in "formal education'" or otherwise.. the journey has been triumphant... and shall continue on.... OK,teary just writing this...and smiling @ the same time!!
