The One Where I Get Really Sappy, Again
I didn’t need waterproof mascara for preschool graduation after all (although I might need it to read this post.) I was too busy laughing, smiling, and trying to get the perfect picture. It was like the parent preschool paparazzi in the aisles! The kids said the pledge of allegiance and then assembled in the back of the church so they could march up to the stage to Pomp and Circumstance in their shiny red caps and gowns. The hubby shot a fantastic video and even put finishing touches on the final movie with a photo montage. I don’t know about you, but we definitely don’t take enough video of our kids. There was cake and punch and balloons in the church basement. There were little girls twirling in dresses and holding hands. There was a toddler shoving strawberries in her mouth as fast as she could eat them. (That would be Amelia.)
I heard this song on the radio this morning on the way to work and somehow it just seems to fit.
My Wish
Rascal Flatts
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window,
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
