Today, Sarah graduated grade school. Of course I bawled for no reason at all, pretty much the whole time. I didn't cry on her first day of kindergarten, when she was an itty bitty person with a backpack almost as big as she was, hoisting herself onto a school bus. But somehow when she had to leave grade school behind, that struck a chord. And I'm not really sure why; I like being the parent of older kids so much better than I liked the wee little stages. I enjoy her immensely now, deeply. It touches me that she has become who she is. Maybe that produced the emotions.
Anyway, on to middle school! Where she will be the baby once again, relatively speaking.
