it's today.

Mom gave me my first graduation present last night, and though it might not mean alot to y'all, she had taken the rabbit that I used to carry around as a kid that our dog chewed up months and months ago, and completely reconstructed it. And before I opened it, there was a little card that said, "I'm all dressed up and ready for Charleston!" So, I have that little rabbit to take with me now. Mom cried. I almost did.

I don't know what to feel, I haven't really cried yet, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually. I'm so happy that this day has finally gotten here, it seems like just yesterday we were circling up on a rug for storytime in first grade. And now, we're getting ready to walk across stage and accept the little piece of paper that says you're free. You're no longer a kid, you're your own person, and there's no looking back.

Oh, mirror in the sky
what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause
I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

See you in my cap and gown. xoxo em
