There are times you look at your kids and you wonder...how did time pass so quickly?
There are times when you look at your kids and think, "There is no possible way that I can love them more" ...and then you do.
There are times when you look at your kids and say "OK, go ahead"....when all you want is to beg them to stay put.
On Friday my Daughter went to her first formal dance. It was so much more than the dance for me. It was the weeks before that she and I went from store to store choosing dresses and imagining what shoes would look best. It was fussing--- then laughing . It was arguing about styles, then excitedly clapping when she found "the one" dress that was perfect.
It was just her and I spending that time together... I smiled, but It was accompanied with a lump in my throat because of the realization that time is passing way too quickly and there is nothing I can do to slow it down.
Her dress
Her shoes
And a little surprise from Dad...a rose wrist corsage
Sigh...............

ReplyDeleteIt is all adorable!!! I bet she was just beautiful in it and you were crying. You are very wise to appreciate and realize that this is an important step and she is getting older and becoming a woman.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress. I did the formal thing last year but suit shopping isn't quite as exciting as that precious mother daughter time you had.
ReplyDeleteI did get a taste, helping my son's gf buy a dress so I consider myself lucky.
Treasure these moments. There will be more I am sure
I love the dress!
