Today makes it 36 years since the last time a Doctor told me that I have another child to be responsible for. The fifth and final time that I had been blessed with the opportunity to love and protect a Kiddo.
So yes, I can absolutely relate to the parents who are getting emotional as their little ones are about to enter their senior year of high school 🏫.
Being the fifth of five myself, I went through life with a Mother who insisted on calling me her ” Baby 👶”. Nine grandchildren later, I feel ♥️ rather old and with the youngest child now being 36 years old, I guess that I’m no longer imagining it.
In that photo 📸, Rebecca is sitting on my shoulders, and 10 years ago, I had that in me. Today, yeah, not so much.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Rebecca and I hope that you have a wonderful experience out there on the Island 🏝.
The road less traveled !
