It's unavoidable...the shopping has started, the sunflowers have bloomed, and the apples are on the trees. Natalie's senior year will begin very soon. I'm not sure I'm ready to put words to this much-dreaded for me, much-anticipated for her year.
It just happened very fast, as everyone said it would, and as in my heart, I knew it would. High school has been a blur. Just like the fast-moving train my own high school years were so many years ago.
Time is a thief. Life is short, and even as I say it, and I try to enjoy each moment, the ordinary everyday pace of a life well-savored will still vanish like a puff of smoke.
So I will just ride the ride and hold on as much as I can. And when it's time to let go....well, let's just deal with today.

What a beautiful sunflower! Is it one you grew? I pray that you and Natalie will have some very blessed and special memories of this year together. With your family as well.
