Proud doesn’t begin to describe…

She woke up and you could tell she already felt different.  She seemed different.

She reminded her little brother that this was her big day at least 4 (or 40) times.

She took extra care getting dressed and asked specifically for two braids in her hair.  Everything had to be just right.

Today my girl graduated from senior kindergarten.

As I walked into the school library, decorated with balloons and banners, it hit me.  Life as we know it was about to change.  But I was ok, until I saw her walk into the room.  Seeing her in her handmade cap literally made my heart burst open in my chest.  I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a minute or two.

But then she looked at me.  Eyes bright, smile from ear to ear.  And suddenly, instead of feeling sad, I felt at ease.  She was thrilled.   She walked across the stage and picked up her diploma with confidence, surrounded by all her friends.  I couldn’t ask for more.

I am so very proud of my girl.   This adventure has been one of my most favourites ever, and I can’t wait to see where else we get to go with her.  What a ride it will be.

And just for fun:

Dan - Love the grad 2012 photo! It was great seeing her in her element. She also had an important role to play in the “Merci” song they sang … she stepped forward and held up the letter C at a pivotal moment. She nailed it 🙂
