A double digit milestone.

More often than not I find myself thinking about how unbelievable it is that I have a ten year old. Or that in just five years this kid will start to drive, or in eight years she will be off to college. It is mind boggling to me - I really have no words for how foreign this feeling is, but what I do know is that there is this lingering mild form of panic, a little confusion, and a smidge of sadness that I find myself plagued with every time she does something new and on her own. I find me here having to remind myself of the good parts of this growing up business. The excitement, the journey, the knowledge, and the life that she will make for herself. It will be okay, mom. It will be OKAY!
