Last Day of School

Today is Jon's last day of high school. I am having a hard time accepting this reality. I thought, at first, maybe it was because I'm feeling old. Not really, though, I fully realize that when Jon was 2 they thought I was his mom, now they ask me without hesitation if I want the senior discount. I'm still the age that I can say, "no not yet.", but not for long. I might not feel old, but reality is I am getting older.
Is it because I feel life is fragile and short? Sure, I am reminded with this milestone, that we need to live each day to its fullest. Time seems to fly by.
But I think that it is nothing more profound than realizing that my grandchildren are growing up around me. Toby is little today, but he will be bigger tomorrow. Joel left the USA an infant, and when he returns for furlough he will be 4 ( I am missing those 4 years :( ). My grandchildren are Wonderful little people. My prayer is that You, God, will work in their lives and make them Wonderful big people, people who know You and love You, Lord. So now that I have analyzed it, I am going to rejoice in the fact that this is Jon's last day of high school.
HE DID IT, and I am proud of him!!!
