It's funny. I titled this post "The Boy & the Girl & the G", but that's not correct. It should be titled, "The Man & the Woman & the Young Lady" because that's what they've become. In what feels like an instant my little ones have become grown.
Wow! and Ow!
They are preparing to make their way in the world. I couldn't be prouder of what they've become, and couldn't be more excited for what they will accomplish.
But...
I can't help but ache.
The Boy and the Girl both received performing arts awards over the weekend.
Not to be outdone, the G is prepping to head off to a "by invitation only" science camp to start the summer, where she'll join other girls her age exploring the wonders of the world.
Oh, and the Boy has a sweetheart, whom he adores (as we all do.)
Would that I could have spent the rest of my days carrying them on my hip, but that was never an option.
At some point they suit up, hug you as tears well in your eyes, and with a mighty flap they take flight.
