Before You Know it, He’ll Be Eighteen
A friend of the family said this to me when I told her that I couldn’t believe that my then-infant son was eight weeks old. My oldest son isn’t quite there yet, but I’m remembering her words. He’s growing up so fast. Today, graduated from junior high school. Before long, I’ll be sitting in the throng of parents, watching him accept his high school diploma.
Before we left for the ceremony, I asked him if he was excited. Not really. The milestone didn’t hit him until he walked up to the principal to receive his diploma. After the ceremony was all over, he walked up to us with an ear-to-ear grin on his face.
I made it, that expression said. Yes, you did, honey. Dad and I are so proud of you.

Wonderful.
And a big Congrats to your son.
If he’s anything like his mother, he’s one smart cookie.
Time is moving so fast these days that I just want to make it stop.
I guess Summer is here, huh?
Nice post, Deborah.
As always, I love your efficiency with words.

You’re making me blush, Michael.
I’d like to slow time down a bit, too. It’s moving way too fast. Hope you have a wonderful Summer!
