how can it be....

...that this little Miss... ...is graduating from Grad School tomorrow??? It seems like only yesterday that she was this little prissy girl in red--why oh why does time speed away so fast? Why does it seem to play so many tricks with my mind? Not only is she graduating with her Masters, but she is a young married wife. Oh how I miss my giggly little sunshine who for such a short while believed the sun rose and set with her mommy and daddy. If you are reading this sweet Sarah Ann, know that Dad and I could not be any prouder of you. You are the first person in either of our families to graduate from college with a Masters Degree. We know it has been a long 5 years, unbearable at times, but you stayed the course and tomorrow you get the prize! We can't wait to see you walk across that floor, knowing how all your hard work has paid off. :) Listen for us cheering, okay?
Hugs and Kisses to you,
Mom

This picture is just darling. You have me all choked up. My daughter is leaving for camp for the very first time tomorrow and I'm excited for her, but just sad that she's growing up so fast!

I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now. Well, actually, I'm not, because the tears I am crying now would have been pouring down my cheeks in front of hundreds of people if I had read this the night before.

I didn't cry at all at the ceremony until I looked at you at the very end and saw you crying. It didn't really hit me how important it was until then.

I love you both, I couldn't have made it even off the starting line if hadn't been for you and Daddy.

XOXOXOXO
