Daughter is not awake yet, but I am. Sitting here surrounded by the traditional full house birthday regala...balloons, streamers, picture posters, cake, kitchen table loaded with gifts and a bd message on the kitchen chalkboard.
Youngest made it safely to 18. A feat itself. Our work is not done, but safe passage...to young adulthood was made. Wheee
For nearly 25 years (half my life less 2 years) its been full on parenting. How dare son grow up and leave home 7 years ago; how heartbreaking when oldest daughter did the same five years ago...everything as they say it does, keeps changing. And so must I.
18 years ago, SuperBowl Sunday this fiesty girl waited until just 12 minutes after the bowl game was over before she made her first appearance...she beat the doctor and two good nurses, Sharron and Debbie ensured her safe delivery. She was born with an impossibly good nature and a super social and sunny disposition --add her insatiable ZEST for life. Thanks to her brother and sister for all their pseudo parenting and taking of the late night calls...from me during the last 6 years. They have been rough, very difficult and scary.
I pray for safe passage through the next waves of life and as for me, this milestone in my life, calls for a true celebration filled with anything but vodka!TTFN
