The graduation ceremonies for 2005 have begun....mine walked the stage last night.
Throughout May, the school programs and banquets and awards kept bringing home the reminder that we may never pass this way again. The number of "last time to...." increased with each passing day. Some endings are sweet, some sad, but each is tucked safely away in that special memory place that Moms hold onto forever.
The most poignant last for me....
My son helped arranged to perform a solo tap dance in the school Show Choir final show. I have watched him in recitals and competitions for 15 years......and I may never see him dance again. He was wonderful and thank goodness I have video since I was blurried-eyed with tears throughout the performance. More than one person came to shake his hand and encouraged him to find a way to keep singing and dancing even though it is time to give baseball full attention.
Please share your favorite or saddest or hardest or sweetest "last" with us
I would love to hear your stories!
