How did time fly by so quickly? I can't believe my little baby girl is soon to be flying over the Atlantic WITHOUT ME!!! You might say that I should take comfort in the fact that she'll be traveling with my mom. I do. But it doesn't help to take away the sting that's burning inside me the past few days
...She's grown up so quickly. It all seems to be going by way too fast. I don't like it. Not one bit!! I wish I could freeze frame and keep her small and right beside me ALWAYS. Saying I find it hard to let go is a major understatement. I just want to hang onto her with all my might forever and it seems that time has a different plan. Time keeps on passing and she keeps on growing and changing and consequently keeps inching her way further and further away from mom. I am proud of my little curly headed girl. She is beautiful, and sweet, and full of charisma.

She is beautiful, and sweet, and full of charisma. I KNOW that she will LOVE Rome! She is so excited. She keeps chatting away about this saint and that saint and this relic and that..."Maybe I'll see the pope mom!" she says skipping through the kitchen. "That'd be great Morgan!" I say trying to be enthusiastic and hide all my worries and anxiety from her. Please pray for Morgan and mom as they head to Vatican City in 5 days!!! I'd like to say that there'll be lots of pictures posted but probably not. Mom's not a fan of digital cameras and I'm not sure if I should send mine with Morgan to keep charge of...she's growing up yah, but come on she's still a kid too. You think I should just risk it ans send my camera with her anyhow? There's GOTTA be pics from Rome right? Well, I've got 5 days to think it over...

I would figure out a way for a camera to go with her, so at least she could take pictures to remember her trip. Buy her disposables and have her send them home, or buy her a camera for Christmas. Don't send her with yours if it is a grown-up camera. oh, I am so jealous. I have barely traveled outside of Colorado. She will have so much fun.
I know what you mean about them growing so fast. I can almost have a panic attack when I think that I won't have anyone to take care of one day and wonder what I will do.
Marigold,
You're a woman after my own heart! I too wonder what I'll do when there are no more babies to change and nurse. It hurts to think of it. My aunt told me a story about my grandmother once. My grandma had 13 children of her own. She had many grandchildren too then. One day, when she was in her 60's she sat with a bunch of my aunts and they were all talking about the newest little one in the family. How cute he was and lovable etc. My aunt tells me that my grandma started crying. She said " mom? what's wrong with you?" to which my gram answered " I just wish I could still have babies" How about that!!! I guess it still hurts even when you're "old" too...
Kris, you gotta have them take a camera. Buy her a 24 disposable; and besides, your mom CAN take pictures - give her your camera!
Love,
Martin
