Senior Night

Senior Night finally happened. It was a bit surreal. I've been to other senior nights over the years and they were......nice, sweet really. This night, this year, this time, was Kaity's time and it was hard with a capital H! My tears were flowing as soon as I made eye contact with her. She's just a little girl, my baby....how can this be? But it was real and it was happening. The steps I took on the field were the same steps that so many other parents have taken and that should have been comforting. But it wasn't. In my head I kept hearing, "this is it. this is the last time she will ever be on this field". (my mind doesn't use capitals, I guess)



This picture puts a knot in my throat every time I look at it. Liz and Jay Tirrell (the NICEST people in the world) walking their senior down, Ali and Liz grabbing the hand of her other daughter, Abbey.
























Thank you, Tirrells for hosting such a great party. Your house was full of love. Everyone there felt it. Thank you, to all the parents for the delicious food you brought. The night was a huge success with just another wonderful lacrosse memory made.
