The little things that happened this weekend would seem trivial to most. Upon first glance, they are trivial events, but each in its own way is life altering:
1) Emma had a school music class Spring Recital. My little girl wore pantyhose. They were really light tights or heavy duty pantyhose. It doesn't matter. She wore flesh colored leg covering. Gone are the days of tights and lacy socks.
2) I purchased roundtrip train and bus tickets for Christopher to get to and from Beloit College. They are having Senior Days April 18 & 19. Only High School Seniors who have been accepted to Beloit are invited to attend the event. This is potentially the first of many roundtrip tickets we buy. He is done with high school in 10 weeks, and he will be going away.
3) We got Cameron a cell phone. He now has the opportunity for more independence than I was willing to grant him yesterday. If I object to him going somewhere or doing something, he can (and he will) tell me to call him or text him to check in.
Our little girl is growing up. Our oldest son is preparing to move on. Our middle kid is responsibly slipping away.
This is life.
