After playing ladies maid for about two hours, I have finally waved my daughter off to her 6th Year Leavers Ball ( American equivalent, senior prom, I think). She looked so young, and yet so grown up, radiantly happy and heart-breakingly beautiful and quite honestly, I don't know whether to burst with pride or sob my head off.I can't quite believe that my little girl is grown and,so very soon now, will be gone. I know/hope there will be other milestones but will there ever be another about which I feel so ambivalent, I wonder? Is my work here almost done? What are the milestones in your kids lives that have meant the most to you..... and does anyone have a kleenex?
