We woke.
With butterflies.
Plus a breakfast and practice to help button things up. Tension rose, and fell.
Tears would sprout, to soon be wiped away with laughter.
Family arrived, with all the wonder of what to expect.
We wondered too.
Soon, we'd be shuffling in and out of bedrooms, dialing in the last details for the cap and gown.
Don't get me started on our dinner planning fiasco.
The best part, was we landed exactly where our birdies wanted to be. Together.
It was one of the best days of their lives.
And soon the stands were empty, we all jumped into cars headed in separate directions.
My parents left for the mountains.
The kids settled into a later morning ritual, with a few beach stops trickled here and there.
I exhaled for a short bit, still unsure about this whole college thing.
The whirlwind was such an experience.
One of those pages in her chapters that will forever and ever be marked as special.
Especially shared with those we love, and those that love and loved us right back.
Happy Graduation To All The Los Al Class Of 2015-
Remember parents to breathe. Don't stress the little details. And praise God for this beautiful cool sunshine. That will make your life much much more pleasant this afternoon.
Big Love and Happy Day wishes to you all-
STAY FOREVER YOUNG
This Reminiscent Mama Lisa
