Well it is official! My little girl not only has her drivers license, but she started her first job today. Although I am proud of her, I am sad, for my little girl isn't little anymore. Her 17th birthday is just around the corner, and once again I will cringed and shed a few tears. However I couldn't ask for a more perfect young lady to be my daughter, and as always I ask myself "what did I do in my life to deserve a wonderful kid". I always think back of when she was a little girl, how I miss those days, so many wonderful memories of her and I. Every birthday that comes along I take a deep breath and sigh and say to myself, " I wish my kids were babies again", even though they are in such a hurry to grow up. My two younger kids said yesterday that they were mad that they have to wait till they are 18 in order to get their drivers license, and they wanted to know why they couldn't get it now (they are 5!!LOL) memories like that one will stay with me forever, for my kids are my world, my life, my everything and I thank GOD for choosing me to be thier mother.
