Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
I am just sitting here going through post from last year about this time on Holly's Journal. I am not nuts! It is just amazing to me how much she has grown this year. To look back and see the excited spastic child who was soooooo happy to be going to NCSSM. Then to see the beautiful young woman that she is becoming. She is so independent and confident now. She has really developed into her own person. I am sooo proud!!!!!!!! I know she is going to miss school so much this summer. I know it is going to be hard for her. She has changed so much and I am sure most of her friends have to. I know that she will still feel comfortable with Jerry, Rachel and Shane. But I know she can't help but feel a little lost. She is HOME but waiting to leave again. This will always be her home but she feels more at home at NCSSM than anywhere else at this point in life. And thats OK. I mean there she is in a protected little world full of people who think like her. She is not THE SMART KID any more. They are ALL THE SMART KID. She is beginning to feel the wind under her wings so to speak so it is understandable that the nest does not hold as much appeal as it use to. I want to be empathetic to what she will be going through. On the other hand I CAN"T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO GO DOWN THE HALL AND SEE MY BABY THERE IN HER ROOM !!!!!!!! I love her soooooo much. I will be here to help her make the transition back home and then the transition back to NCSSM in fall.
I was looking at her prom picture today. I can not believe that the little baby who use to sit on the front porch swing and sing with me is this incredible young woman. I remember her playing in the bubbles at the museum of life and science when she was little. To see her standing in her prom dress playing in the bubbles was almost full circle ok enough sappy Mommy stuff.
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be
