Today my daughter is graduating from high school. I am wondering, where has the time gone? Wasn't it just a moment ago that I was taking her to pre-school in her cute GAP overalls and denim hat? It seems like it was just yesterday that she was collecting heart shaped rocks; putting her tiny dolls into her hats at bedtime, and tucking them in with toilet tissue blankets; adoring her older brothers. It doesn't seem that long ago that she was just a little ballerina going to class once, then twice, and soon four times a week until she started high school. She almost gave up an opportunity to dance in Ballet West's The Nutcracker because she was scheduled to perform on a Sunday... bless the woman who changed the schedule and let her dance. She's my little girl who believes in answers to prayers. She was the little girl who amazed me by committing to 1 full year of not eating candy or drinking soda pop... and she did it... in elementary school. This is my baby girl who was an answer to prayer, a gift of healing, and a blessing in my life. She is a young woman now, on the threshold of the rest of her life, I have confidence in her success, but for just a few moments I want to remember... my baby girl. I love you Caitlin Rose. I will be forever grateful that you chose me.
