Lasts...

I have had children in my home for 30 years! I've had children for longer than I lived without children. They have been a huge part of my life! And so it is, that Brent's senior year is a year of lasts, if you will. Saturday was the last Placentia Parade I will have a child march in. That night he went to his Homecoming Dance, the last time I will take pictures of a excited group going to Homecoming. I have mixed feelings about all of this---some relief, some longing for things they way they've been, some excitment to finally have time to do different things. For all of you dealing with the day to day challenges of raising children, try to imagine the day it will all be done because one day, it will be and you'll recognize what a special time it was! I'm sure grateful I was able to be called MOM.
