My oldest son will graduate from High School in just 3 days.
Three. Days.
It was just yesterday that he started his first day of his last year of High School.
Just a week ago we were touring the high school -- me, his obviously pregnant mom and him -- a slightly embarrassed 9th grader.
Less than a month ago he was graduating from 8th grade. I still remember his class singing a Switchfoot song.
Only a few months ago he was graduating from kindergarten.
And it seems like it was less than a year ago that I was holding him in my arms for the first time.
Time flies. Blink and you'll miss it. Life happens too fast.
I thought I knew what those sayings meant, but I didn't. Now I do. And it's OK. Trenton's graduation celebration is only the beginning of great things to come. And even though he is leaving home at the end of this summer, I will always be his mom. That won't ever change, no matter how many years go by.
