A Mother's Tears

Are we ever really able to let go? After today, I truly have my doubts, about myself that is. Our fifth grade classes at school are practicing for their"graduation" that will take place this week. I was subbing today and got to participate. It was really more than I could take. I was crying like a baby, because, they are singing the Billy Ray/Miley Cyrus song, Get ready, Don't Go.......

I know this is a milestone all must past, our first son did it, and I don't remember it being quite this hard. Maybe it is because this is our BABY.

I wasn't the only mother crying, another mother/school employee was crying also as she watched.

I am very proud of all these children that will be "graduating". In a way, I feel like they are all my babies....

Baby get ready, Please don't go......
