My What a Difference 18 years Makes


Hard to believe that Lacey is going to graduate High Shool on Thursday, June 12. 

As she set off for her first day of Kindergarten, I remember seeing a banner welcoming the "Class of 2008". How unreal that looked at the time. These little children lining up for the first time in rows while the teachers greeted each one in turn. There were smiles and plenty of tears---mostly from the parents who had to relinquish their sons and daughters to the public school system.

It seems like the years raced and now I see before me a young woman ending one phase of her life and opening the door to another. 

I wish for her all the good things that life can offer and I hope she stays safe in a world that I can't shelter her from any longer. My butterfly is about to fly.
