Yesterday my oldest turned 17.

How can it be seventeen years since the day they handed me that oh so tiny baby…. That everyone tried to tell me what huge… Nope she was sooo small and sooo helpless and I wasn’t ready to be a mom…. But when she smiled my heart melted and I knew I would walk through fire for her…  I had a lot to learn!

Yesterday as she enjoyed her steak, at her birthday dinner, and talked about how cute the waiter was…. I realized that she still can melt my heart with a simple smile and that I would still walk through fire for her… and that I have to learn something that is equally as hard as becoming a first time mom…. now I have to learn to let go….

Happy birthday Little One!!
