I'm back in Texas for my niece and nephews high school graduation. Never mind that it feels like they were just born yesterday. Now I have to watch them walk across a stage and transition into adulthood and college. To say that time goes by quickly is a gross understatement.
So in order to celebrate them, we have to celebrate the almost 18 years that have gone by. And to look back 18 years means to look back at what my life used to look like as well because our lives are all a tangled web of interactions and love.
The counselor in me wants to point out the moments I missed that led me to this new life. However, the aunt and mom in me is fighting hard to stick to the love and good times we have all had.
Who will win? I'll have to let you know in a few days.
Meanwhile, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy kissing and hugging my nieces and nephews because if there is one thing that I have learned, it's that time is short and there is no time to be wasted not loving the crap out of each other!
