My Girl

Alright, so I admit it. I'm feeling a little melancholy. My only child graduates from high school in 3 months. Yes, 3 months!!! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that I was teaching her to walk, read, ride a bike...now she's going to be an adult? (This can't be possible, b/c I'm still 25;P) She is going to college and wants to study advertising and marketing. Isn't this the same child who can't make her bed in the morning? Don't get me wrong, I have faith in her and I'm excited for this time in her life to begin. I'm thankful that I'll be a part of it. She's just my baby, ya know? Although she is going to be living with me while she goes to college, which is good, I feel that empty nest syndrome anyway. Will she still need me? How will our relationship change? I have so many worries. She's planning on looking for a prom dress for Senior prom next week and invitations for graduation soon thereafter. It feels like it's all coming at me way too fast- I can't imagine how she must feel. I just never realized how quickly time would fly by and before I know it, my girl will be leaving the nest...
