Well, this was tough.
I have watched this beautiful girl dance on stage since she was 5 years old. She wanted to go right back out on the stage after her first performance. I have really tried to enjoy all of it. Dance practices, competitions, auditions, etc. etc. While I sat and watched, perhaps her last performance, I imagined myself whispering into my younger self's ear that first time I watched her dance, "It's going to go faster than you can imagine,"
It's so cliche and everyone says it because it's true.
She absolutely shines on stage.
All the years came rushing back as if I was watching.a movie on fast forward. I just let the tears roll down my cheeks. It felt surreal and it killed me. Senior year is an emotional beating but this night was the hardest. I love you Kaitlyn. I feel so lucky to be your mom. The dance journey was a beautiful one. I'll be grateful for this time we had together forever.
