A Mother's Moment

As Jessica prepares for graduation, Julianne is preparing to become the only child living at home with her parents.  I know this is hard for her, even though she hasn't shown it yet.  I can see that she is trying to get closer to her sister and I can also see her sister softening her ways with her.  Tonight, Jessica is having a girls night with her friends and to my surprise she invited her little sister to join in. This warms my heart and I am trying not to shed a tear for my youngest because I know her heart is filled with wonder and awe for her sister.  Time will stand still tonight as my two children spend an evening together, an evening that is within the countdown to Jessica's departure.....
