Homecoming 2009
Where did the time go? Once upon a time they were in diapers and toddling precariously across granny's kitchen floor. Once upon a time they declared undying love and devotion while falling asleep in each other's arms. Once upon a time their best friend was just an arm's length away.
Now they are grown. Now they only love each other when mommy has had enough of the teen age waste land they create with their words of wrath. Now they have iPod, PC, boyfriends, and foot ball games.
Soon they will move on. Soon they will graduate. Soon they will go to college, find their true love, marry, and bring home babies of their own.
Their cycle will renew. Their cycle will reverse. They will remember who they are, and from whom they came, and to whom they first gave their hearts too.
And they will remember their best friend.
And they will remember each other.
Just like we did.
Here's to homecoming 09!

That was really beautiful... I miss homecomings. Now they are so few and far between.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! Yes, the kids grow up! Their schools don't have homecomings, but they all get together around Thanksgiving.
