Tomorrow my “baby” dons a navy blue tuxedo and goes off in a limousine with his friends to attend his high school graduation dinner and dance. I know it’s a cliche but I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like yesterday he was flying through the house wearing his batman cape. At that time it was hard to imagine him wearing a tux for real.
It’s a funny time for parents when our children prepare to enter the adult world. There’s sadness knowing it’s an end to the stage of life we call childhood. There’s also a tremendous feeling of pride watching them grow up. I know Marc will do well in the world. He’s a kind, sensitive and talented young man. He takes a lot of pride in his appearance and steps up the the plate when the occasion requires him to do so.
Tomorrow night I get to have the first dance with Marc. He towers over me now. There’s nothing that moves me more emotionally than being with my children during these momentous occasions. I feel choked up just thinking about it. My little batman will be all dressed up in a fancy suit to celebrate his high school graduation.
