The Big Day
In just a few hours we will be heading to Bree's Junior High School graduation. Wow. Yesterday, before she had even been formally discharged, Bree received mail from her new high school. She wasn't very thrilled to find it was her first homework assignment. Poor kid. Today we have to drop her at her current school on our way to graduation because she forgot to sign a declaration on her Spanish citywide test. Argh.
I let my boss know I wouldn't be in today and she was marveling at the fact that my daughter is heading to high school. Minerva remembers when I was pregnant so it's hard to believe time has passed so quickly. Bree has been quiet the last couple of days and told me she's been thinking about Liam a lot. She's not alone. Every time we hit a milestone in her life, I get a little sad, wishing he was here to share it with her. I can't imagine how much those feelings are magnified for her. All I can do is my best for her and be proud of all her achievements.
After commencement we will be taking her out to lunch but will be celebrating on the weekend as well so Harry and Mom can be there too. It's been a rough 3 years for her and I'm very proud of her. Someday she'll see how tough and smart and special a person she really is. She often asks me if I had a preconceived notion of the kind of child I wanted to have. I tell her honestly she is exactly what I wished for. Yes, life these past 9 years has been less than a cake walk but that doesn't change how wonderful she is and how glad I am to have her in my life.
Happy Graduation, Brigid! You make me so damn proud. :)
