We celebrated the Princess’ graduation from college
yesterday. Where in the world does the
time go? Wasn't it just yesterday
that I dropped her off on campus? And
yet, here we are. She already has a full-time
teaching job and she is graduating with no debt to speak of. She is blessed. We all are.
When we took the above picture, my ex-husband said
that we were the original four. He was
sipping on Hennessey and feeling good and he allowed a few other things to come
out of his mouth … it was a day of celebration so I let them all slide. But “the original four” struck me. We used to spend a lot of time together as a
family, now not so much – I guess I should say not at all. The babies are grown and are becoming the
people that they are meant to be.
I loved the time we spent together yesterday. It was peaceful. It was almost as if there was a collective
sigh of relief. What a beautiful way to
end the year. It has been a year filled
with uncertainties but one thing is for certain: we are a family and we always will be.
