Senior Days

So, one would think

since I have been

through the

Senior Year 

of one child

I would be

prepared.

This is my Alex.

She is nearing the end

of her high school days.

She was the 

hardest

to bring into

this world...

four days of 

labor,

forceps

to get her

out

and lots of

pain.

   She is so much  

  like me.            

This has been

difficult, too.

She and I butt

heads alot.

Try everyday

about something.

She doesn't realize

that I have been

there and done that

like her

so many times.

I know she 

needs to make 

her own way.

It is just hard

                                                           for me to let her.

She is going to

be fine...

no, great.

She is very 

creative,

smart, 

sensitive,

talented,

caring,

fun-loving,

and 

compassionate.

This year will 

go by quickly.

Ready or not,

here we go.

Ready or not, 

here she goes.

Ready or not

they are flying

out the door...

one by one.
