Flashback Friday

Just yesterday -kindergarten; this month -graduating. Kind of unbelievable to me but I guess it's really going to happen. I remember years ago when Camille figured out the years that all the kids would graduate, she thought that her graduation year, 2010, and Matt's, 2020, were the coolest. I was comforted, because that sounded so far away. Well, what happened?

When I graduated I remember wondering what all the fuss was about. I mean everyone except the true slackers graduates, right? It's not like we were graduating from medical school or something. Camille said something similar to me the other day, and I told her that from a parent's perspective, we're not just celebrating the fact that our children have completed enough credits to fulfill the requirements to graduate. High school graduation is a real milestone in a child's life. Camille has been 18 for a while, but it seems like leaving high school is the real transition from childhood to adulthood. It's bittersweet, but the way Camille has lived her life so far, it is really something to celebrate.
