Watching your daughter leave right before your eyes
Our eldest daughter just received her driving permit. My husband and I each took her, at different times, to our church parking lot to let her get used to being behind the wheel. My husband was giving her tips on the three point turn and parellel parking; whereas, I was giving her advice on not looking in the mirror while driving, not looking nervous while driving and my favorite driving advice...the proper driving waves. How to give people the thank you wave, hello wave, go ahead wave and what are you thinking "wave"......well not so much. On a serious note, I got out of the car at one point of our "driving instruction" and had her drive by herself, (praying each second, of course) and as I watched her drive off I realized that this moment will never come again. This moment of watching my daughter drive off right before my eyes will forever be in my mind. She will be a junior next year and I can still remember watching her on her first day of kindergarten. Oh how the years go by! Cherish each moment....... they will vanish right before your eyes. 2 comments from 2 users

Although I'm a fairly new mom. (I've been a step-mom since 2003 and a birth mom since 2006.) Someone told me the following... The days will be long, but the years will be short. Now that I'm a mom I completely understand. When was reading about your daughter that was running through my head.

You know, I had a feeling when I saw the first line of your blog that I would love it. Awwww! What a heart-tugging moment as a mom. You're right to cherish it, to observe it, if you can, in the slow motion of a mom's eye. Here's a story I wrote (for The Voice!) long before I started working here: Through the mommy-cam Enjoy.
