I managed to get through yesterday without shedding a single tear. The end of fifth grade (elementary school) came and went, and there was only a brief misting on my part ... and then it was nothing but smiles. I look at her now and wonder what I'm going to feel like in another three years when middle school ends and the high school chapter of her life begins. She already seems so grown up to me. Attitudes and opinions are changing/emerging in interesting ways. A deeper friendship is developing between us. She's fun to pal around with or veg with on the couch. Summer is officially here. The calendar is already full. The march to middle school begins.
